I don’t even...

Seen at the grocery store parking lot on my way to work this morning. How do you burn just this little piece with no other visible damage?

Some strange electrical fire, parking too close to a campfire, or most likely:

ALIENS.

That’s roughly the location I mounted the HID ballast in my wife’s car. Hmm...

I’ll take “Things that happen with e-bay HID Kits” for $100, Alex.

What car is that, and where is the battery located?

It’s a Chevy Spark. Not sure about the battery but I’m liking the aftermarket ballast theory.

Must’ve been a Chevy spark.

What year spark is that? I thought all the spark’s headlights stretched far back to the a-pillar?

Anyways, if it is a Spark, the battery isn’t close enough to that headlight assembly to leak and burn like lava.

Well I guess a Spark set it off.

…I’ll see myself out.

Isn’t this an old Aveo?

Maybe. I thought it was a newer Spark. But I was in a hurry and never went to the back. Just had enough time to grab this pic.

Hmm, I thought it was a Spark. Must have been an Aveo. Doesn’t look like battery leakage, there’s too much charring.

That’s quite a sight for your morning commute!

Not morning, not commute, but yeah.

I can't figure out how they did it. The cab never touched the pole, and neither did the trailer. Well parked.

It's an aveo.

Ah, thank you.

I’m ruling out the battery.

Yeah, I think there would be a lot more damage.

A bunch of gm cars had recalls for daytime running light modules overheating and catching fire. Probably what happened here.

Huh, I had no idea about that! Usually people get them fixed though!

No it’s a facelifted Aveo.

Yup, my bad. I thought ‘Spark’ when I looked at it this morning, but I never had time to get around back to see the emblems. Sure enough, it’s an Aveo. I was more focused on this mess in the corner!

A blacked out sky would be quite unsettling for my morning commute.
