Burn baby Burn

The fluid under the car was red transmission fluid. It looked as if someone had murdered my car, quite literally. 

The night we came back from Provo the Grand Prix caught on fire. Now I don't mean a little smoke I mean full on flames!!!!! I had just had work done on it and the shop I took it to forgot to put hoses back on right and the coolant line into the transmission blew when it overheated and, then the spark plugs sparked-imagine that- and there you have it; burning coolant all over the inside of the car. Fortunately, my parents were in town and were able to help us so we didn't have to call someone at 11 o'clock at night. Even though this was pretty horrible it could have been so much worse. The girls and I could have been on our way to Vegas or back, I could have been alone with the girls, etc. We were right next to a gas station that had fire extinguisher. 
I went to a great place to have it fixed and they got the people who made the mistake to pay for the problem and they fixed everything for us. They made the car better then it was before it caught on fire and it was great looking for the trade in.

So many little blessings that didn't make it quite so bad. How scary, though! I'm glad you're all okay.
