June 1996 CrashInjury

They say "where there's smoke there's fire" so that's why I checked the fire button on the form. Just to the right of the accelerator the carpet started smoking. We still don't know the cause. But, everytime we run the car an awful smell results. We no longer drive long distances. It's our only car but I we'll have to take it to the garage soon. With holiday bills this couldn't have come at a worse time.
