Hi Ed!

       Kind of like a hotrodder I knew that had a stroked LS-1 in a Camaro with all the goodies including a manually shifted Surburban auto trans, etc that had a huge NOS tank rolling around loose behind the front seats restrained only buy the flexing small copper hard line....definitely not a good idea!

Right in the owner's manual for my old 911SC, it says, "don't park your hot car over dry leaves."  I've never parked it out in the garden during the Autumn, so that hasn't been a problem for me so far. ;-)  One friend did say to me, based on his personal experience, "Parking a hot porsche over a big oily piece of cardboard to catch the oil drips, not a good idea."  Hee hee

Hello

          In rural Texas catalytic converters often start brush fires when vehicles are parked hot or idled in brushy or dry grass areas alongside paved roads. Quite a few US Border Patrol Ramcharger SUVs went up in flames that way a few years back. Once on a big field operation near the Nueces River a very disliked supervisor had his vehicle light up and had a heart attack. Lucky for him there were officers from another station there too and they called for a medivac. His troops were preparing an incident report as he was fond of doing. Sometimes what goes around comes around.

          Just another rambling memory

            Ciao
