Cayla and I went out shopping today, we noticed her truck making strange noises, but nothing we could put our finger on (both of us are pretty good at car things). So we're driving along (Rt 17 for Tony and others that know the area) and all of a sudden we hear the distinct noise of a belt gone bad. We pull into a lot, the smell is horrible now...burnt rubber. We look up and smoke is billowing out of the engine compartment. 
So we open the hood and FLAMES......OMG girly girly freak out by me 
(momentarily anyway), before I call 911. Flames were in 3 locations in the front section. Not very fully engulfes but flames a fire nonetheless. We then get our purses and personal items out and find bottles of water. We douse the fire, afterall we are woman hear us roar.....well more like PO'd grumples. PD and FD show up, flames all out. But there is a bug puddle of antifreeze and ball bearings under the truck. The FD does their thing (disconnect the battery incase it was electrical) and we call for a tow. Then Cayla calls the repair place......definitely NOT a girly girly at this point...she was PO'd she jsut had the belt and radiator replaced 3 weeks ago. We get flat-bedded and pile into the tow truck...Her phone rings, it's her work partner who asks "Do you tip tow truck drivers"...she's like..HUH. Turns out he is on the same highway and sees her truck on the tow bed. So needless to say, we have had a eventful day. But we are taking my car and going out to finish our shopping....WHY becuase it is every womans right to stimulate the economy!! We wont know the extent of the damage until Monday. But hoping it is something that went wrong with the recent repair and they'll be no to little costs involved. And as I type this I am hacking into a neighbors unsecured wireless netwrok (tsk tsk) because Cayla's internet connection is down replaced the modem and the net isn't working but TV is....Grrrrrrrr. I think I need a adult beverage soon. If I didnt mention it, car fires scare me..but we are all safe, just shaken up a bit.

I am so glad that both of you are ok!
Glad you girls are OK and good enough to go back shopping! 
A bit of a drive for me though.
