X2 --- and if the firemen would just understand that DIESEL does NOT explode......they could have saved me the trouble of replacing the front fender, hood, and windshield. Those guys are AXE happy.

... heck, in a vehicle GASOLINE does not explode...

My father's 90 corvette ZR1 caught fire, and burned to the ground... EVERYTHING gone on a fiberglass car... except the fuel tank, and the engine/trans/rear diff... oh, and a steel ring where the steering wheel used to be... odd.
HOWEVER!!!

the front and rear bumper shocks CERTAINLY DO EXPLODE!!! 4 rockets them were...
