!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but you have a ticking time bomb in your driveway. If you have a consumer transportation device, there’s a good chance it has a tank full of gasoline. Which means if you drive your kid around in it, you’re driving them around in a firebomb too.

Oh, but actually all the dangers surrounding gasoline have been engineered away and mitigated to the point that it’s motherfucking goddamned ridiculous to seriously expect that your specific car is going to explode at any moment. Even if you hear about a new vehicle that has problems with fires, you will also hear about a massive recall effort on the part of the company likely before anyone dies or is seriously injured. Indeed, your car under the right conditions could catch fire and explode. But it’s far, far, far more likely that you will operate cars for your entire life without being involved in a single fire related incident.

Given that, saying every car on the road is just a massive fireball waiting to happen at any moment is...it’s one of the dumbest things a person could write.

Oh great, it’s an iTruck user. What’s wrong with you people? Did gasoline become too mainstream?

After they sealed the hoods shut and changed all their fasteners to their own proprietary design the iTruck has gotten much better. Some people think it’s dumb to have to flip the truck over to fill it up but I think it really keeps the user experience pure.

I drive an Audi/RX-8, I know it’s a time bomb. (The others are pretty reliable)

What if I want to listen to music while I fill up my iTruck? Can I still do that?

Muhahaha My Volt has gasoline AND a Lithium something-or-other BATTERY which will no doubt EXPLODE as soon as I pick up the kids from school today! We’ll probably take out half of the school at the same time!

Did you ever notice that you drive your car with petroleum-based products and drive your car on petroleum-based roads? What’s the deal with that?

It also means your house and place of work are bombs as well, since they use flammable gas for heat.

Pentosin 11S is way more flammable than gasoline, and my resovoirs are in shooting, high pressure leak distance of the drivers side exhaust manifold.

Oh course, if you have a Note 7 with you it really could explode at any moment.

I believe Jay Leno? said that steam car salesmen used to refer to gas cars as explosion-mobiles.
