Random Cars Exploding

Last night a car exploded less than a mile north of me. No one knows how or why.



SilverSpringSingular beat me to the punch on the witty analysis.

While car fires are not uncommon, non-Pinto cars don't generally explode (except in movies), as they are designed specifically NOT to do that. No one in the neighborhood has claimed the car and the authorities can't determine what caused the car to explode in the first place. All of this is quite mysterious. Is there an Al Qaeda sleeper cell operating in Silver Spring?? (If there is, it is a really lame one.)

Maybe Mythbusters is filming in town?
