car on fire

[ezekial130 10+ year member]

so my car has been being a piece of shit lately. won't start up in cold weather and i am forced to jump it.

alternator works fine and battery is above normal for cca.

i also have completely unsafe jumper cables from a past problem where it was dark and mixed up + with - and fried the cables a bit. still been using them ever since until the other day when my car engine blew up and caught fire. this due to + and - wires touching while jumping my car.

father's buddy says its fixable with a new alternator a wiring harness and some other stuff. cheaper than buying a new car.

whats anyone's opinion on this? could my electrical be fried too? other possible invisible to the eye problems?

lets hear it.

i think the main problem here is your flux capacitor. get that checked at autozone, etc. they will do a free check. might need a new one.

I think it's the headlight fluid. He probably had the reservoirs full. That shit is flammable as hell you know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you should grab a can of blue steam and a pound or two of skyhook and fix the hemlock up. problem solved.

Your engine blew up because your - and + were touching? I don't think so.
