LOL, nope I won't, one thing I'm good at is arguing, or at least dragging out an argument

Well look at the OP, misleading title, and no information at all on how the fire started to begin with, what else would you expect?

So am I. I would even argue that the sun would rise in west...

You are a master debater.

It was a flaw in the oil filters that Honda put on the CR-Vs as they came off the line. The rubber seals stuck to the engine after the filters were taken off. Honda chose a poor-quality oil filter. They're just as culpable as the mechanics.

Just to keep this thread in the toilet (where it belongs) a recent meme on another car forum I'm on...

The Lamborghini Gallardo looked cool but its a death trap and a maintenance nightmare. Oh and a lot caught on fire:

The Lamborghini Miura looked cool but its a death trap and a maintenance nightmare. Oh and a lot caught on fire:

The McLaren F1 looked cool but its a death trap and a maintenance nightmare. Oh and a lot caught on fire:

The Ferrari F430 looked cool but its a death trap and a maintenance nightmare. Oh and a lot caught on fire.

Pretty soon they started bringing up other cars...

E30 BMWs, looked cool, were pretty safe and easy to maintain, oh and i think a few caught on fire:

And then it got silly:

The Bugatti Type 22 looked cool but it's a death trap and a maintenance nightmare. Oh and sometimes they ended up at the bottom of lakes.

Worst exotic cars you can think of.

Showing one or two cars on fire then extrapolating that the make or model is bad is really, really stupid. But as shown, it CAN be funny!

Good post Merc63. Another I see many that have "burned" are the late 1990s Range Rovers... under the hood, so many burn for some reason... faulty fuel lines? Dont know what all years were effected or if a recall was ever issued?

Don't know. I have one, and it's never burned... Haven't heard about it on the forums, either.
