I was driving along and noted a Tick-tick-tick-tick sound that isnt' 
normally there. Turned around and looked around and saw a light where 
there isn't normally light. I looked closer. SHIT FIRE! Pulled over, 
turned around and looked closer.....Hmm. Its small. Hmm. Blow it 
out...can't too deep next to the battery box and the gearbox with the 
radio above.... Hmm, use the fire-extinguisher...hmm, nope its the 
once it's on, it's on type....hmm. Blow it out, hey that worked...
