Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Did I miss the 996 in the background or something?
Ok, now that the pedant is out of the way...
Guess they forgot to clean out the deck and the grass clippings caught fire
Sometimes you'll catch a metal sprinkler head and kick off a spark - and if you haven't capped the tank well or, as gnat mentioned, kept all of the grass debris cleaned up, that's all it takes.
A driver accustomed to the rather strong odors produced by air-cooled cars may have been partially responsible for the fire's spread. By the time he realized that this was more serious than the car's typical "got a little warm on the way to Home Town Buffet for the early-bird special" bouquet, it was fully engulfed. It also seems that the walrus foreskin upholstery - which had absorbed a great deal of the driver's Ben Gay - was more flammable than the concrete and rebar cell-block-esque interiors we poor 996 drivers are accustomed to. The driver's rubber hemorrhoid donut may also have contributed to the conflagration. Thankfully, the driver had two extinguishers mounted to the uprights of his walker, so the fire WAS able to be extinguished after finally being identified.
The driver was interviewed shortly after the fire. When asked if he had any idea what happened, he looked around the room, wet himself slightly, and said, "I can't remember where I live. Is this Tulsa?"
My Dad participated in the Detroit Auto Show back in the late 60's and early 70's with Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge. The cars had to be completely drained of gas and have batteries disconnected before PUSHING them into the convention center.
