Re: If the Darwin Awards are just, he\'s...toast.
If you want to be results-oriented, why couldn't the driver have given his car a thorough checkup before even starting it up and avoided the fire completely?
I haven't had a car catch on fire on the freeway; however I have had a tire blow out on me on the freeway, and when that happened, I had exactly 1 thing going through my mind: GET THIS CAR AS FAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND AS FAR AWAY FROM OTHER CARS AS I CAN.

[/ QUOTE ] Why away from other cars? If it's because you didn't want others to be put in danger, you agree with me that he shouldn't have driven up the embankment. If it's because you didn't want to be in harms way, you agree with me that stopping and getting out sooner would have been better.

Re: If the Darwin Awards are just, he\'s...toast.
So did you put the fire out, or did you let LA burn?
Edit: Did Ponch and Jon show up and save LA? 2nd Edit: Best CHiPs Episode Ever.
