Pontiac Still Building 16-Alarm-Level Excitement  A 2000 Pontiac
Grand Prix GTP under a recall warning against parking underneath
any structure is being blamed as the source of a $3 million
apartment building fire in Plymouth, Minnesota. How exciting!
The 2000 Grand Prix GTP, along with Buick Regals equipped with
the General's supercharged 3800 V6, was recalled in 2003 for the
possibility of engine fires. This particular example apparently
escaped the recall or found a way around the fix and set the
apartment complex it was parked under ablaze with excitement.
Thankfully nobody was injured in the fire, but it did draw as
many as 50 firefighters and 16 firetrucks. So does that mean
2000 Pontiacs were building 16 alarm fire-level excitement? (Hat
tip to Kevin!) [Star Tribune]  Photo unrelated to story, though
it's disturbing how many results pop up when you Google "Pontiac
Grand Prix fire."
