One of my facebook friends took this photo. The city has collapsed.

Edit: not actually my friend's photo. they took it from Reddit and posted it on Facebook. It is actually Raleigh, Glenwood Avenue I think and it is genuinely embarrassing for someone that loves his city. Seeing it break.

Why do cars catch on fire after they're abandoned in the south in the winter?

Dude, WTF? Granted that's a fair amount of snow, but does no one understand how to drive in this stuff? And how in the hell is there a car on fire?!

I'm going to guess that's Glenwood at 540...that hill and sign gantry seems to fit my memory of that area. I guess this is payback for us Carolinians laughing at Atlanta a couple of weeks ago.

I remember this exact thing happening in Raleigh in January 2005 Took me 5 hours to get from Knightdale to RDU to pick up my dad. All of the pictures I've seen today are almost carbon copies of that.

Nice to know there's someone else from the Triangle Area! I go to school at ECU in Greenville now, but I'm from Oxford originally. Its pretty bad here, but I havent seen anything on fire yet.

I'm guessing they were bouncing off the rev limiter for several minutes trying to get up that hill. Then fire happened.

It may look counter-intuitive, but engines still produce heat when turned on even in winter, and gasoline is still a fire hazard. It's not like an RPG where the car gets a [+10] resistance to fires just because it's cold out.

Flammable stuff can burn in winter.

Keeping warm! Duh! It works well, but it's real short and it's stinky.
