What owners wrote

My son was driving his girlfriend home when his car burst into flames. He pulled the car off the road telling his girlfriend to jump out the window as the flames continued to grow with each press on the brake pedal. The car slid into the dark hitting a tree. Both people died. My son was 22, his girlfriend was 21.
