Default Lighter Blows Up in my Interior

So I walk out to the car this morning and open the door. There is a tiny bit of shredded paper in the interior and blue plastic shrapnel in my seat and a little around the interior car.

A lighter that was in my cup holder with a note on in the same area it blew up.

Luck it didn't hurt anything just a little clean up and leasson learned. Don't leave lighters in your car...

Or you could learn the "bigger lesson".... stop smoking and you won't need to worry about lighters. LOL

Just kidding I'm too old for the left hand ones. Last time I did that I woke up naked in a garage and never found my left shoe. It was New Years 2001

I stick to the hard stuff

Sometimes it's just a matter of the sun shining through the windshield at just the right(or wrong) angle. As a cop, I responded to vehicles that burned completely to the ground due to lighters exploding.
