Narrative

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2001 KIA RIO AND IT STARTED TO RUN REALLY FUNNY AND THE NEXT THING I KNEW I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE WASN'T ACCELERATING ANYMORE SO I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND THE CAR WAS ON FIRE SO I GOT OUT AND CALLED 911. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS.*AK
