well, maybe not so much a fire. more like a lotta, lotta smoke.
since i'm having issues with getting the car into gear, i thought i'd grease up the jerks and see what happens. so i start the car and try to shift into reverse or first. nothing going, so i thought i'd turn the wheel to see if it were stuck against the curb. once i did that, the engine started hesitating and eventually died. smoke came pouring out of behind the dash. then i saw it was under the hood, too. i wasn't even prepared for something like this, so i didn't have an extinguisher ready. i went inside and got a pot of water and poured it wherever there was smoke. well, turns out my ignition wire fried; taking nearby wires with it. two weeks of rewiring and now i have to do most of it over again. i haven't even seen what's behind the dash yet. i'm just done with this today. it was supposed to be driving this week... now i have to do all this crap again. this was the only good thing i had going for me recently. it's bull... it really is.
oh, and i rewired everything with either 12g or 10g wire.
