Boys deny fireworks fiasco, claim seat heaters caused car fire

This story has the right elements, but it would be more amusing if you didn't have to work so hard to get through it. I like the part about the boys claiming that the seat heaters -- used in summer? -- caused the car fire. (Yakima-Herald.com)

I do have to admit, I rather enjoyed the bitchiness of whomever it was who wrote that article.

the burning question is.....will the insurance company cover a Mini burned up by 2 morons lighting fireworks in the car?

These 2 idiots have seen My Cousin Vinnie too many times....yup, a Mini, painted the exact same color, drove down this here road 5 minutes before our poor victims and blew up the mailbox using the same type of explosive materials found in the burned mini. Better call Joe Pesci.

I've watched My Cousin Vinnie too many times to....but just because Marrisa Tomei is so HOT in it.

My response to the question about the fire would have been "There's a car on fire? Where? What car? Oh man! There's a car on fire over there, call the fire department!"

I'm sure that their dog ate their homework too.

I just love how people, particularly young ones, can lie so magnificently when readily observable facts FLY IN THE FACE of what they're saying.

I still remember lying to my dad when I was 16 or 17 about smoking in the car. The car reeked, there were ashes (and probably seeds) on the floor and there may still have been smoke wafting about.

"No Dad, we weren't smoking"

I'm sometimes amazed that we turned out as relatively good as we did.

"..deadly assault on the innocent mailbox."
...LMAO!!!

Growing up my friend burnt his parents leather seats by driving around the hood shooting people with roman candles.

He made up a story that some kids shot fireworks into the car and to make it seem believeable he burnt his arm with a lighter to the point it was bleeding.

And his parents actually FELL for that BS.

(I agree with both above comments. Ha. Great style.)

I really love that the car was totally "involved" in flames.

[Tupac]

I like the writing too. I imagine Sgt. Friday is saying it.

[American Veteran]

SUESAN,
If it was totally involved, would it call the next morning or, was it just another pick up line?

[johnjohn]

@Lou I see a future in politics for these two.

[Farmer Bob and the City]

Sterilization.

[jdm]

lol

[jj2]

Bob, you've gotten entirely too lazy. Sterilization is worthwhile for the dude who wants to cut his sister's head off, but the idiots who set a Mini Cooper on fire and blew up a mailbox? Now you're just boring us all.

Simple, simple rules.

Whoops... responding to the wrong article. Have too many tabs open.

"Here, hold my beer while I light this bong, dude"
"man, is that smoke I see coming from your butt? Give me a hit of that, dude"
"Sh.t, moms gonna be pissed we torched her car."
"man, look at that sucker burn"
"oh oh, here comes the cops, let me do the talking"
