Fire started by spinning the rear wheels? Funny stuff!

The WXIA-TV reporter said "This is a unique outcome but a common of a danger in this kind of weather which is, people with rear wheel drive cars who loose traction, this guy quite frankly got impatient I guess and just spun those wheels and spun those wheels until it started burning rubber..."? but the fire looks like it started somewhere up front in the engine compartment to me.

Funny thing, later on in the video the reporter acted surprised that they even still make rear wheel drive cars.

Thanks Cindy, that was entertaining!

Reporters aren't too bright.

I always love the commentary on live police chases.


And also this too.... BMW explodes in VA

wow, that guy reporting had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. I bet he revved that motor up so high and blew it, that's why it caught on fire. lol.
