[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 545985, member: 11791"] Pushing it out, it caught fire? THAT, I can see... 1) If they didn't turn the engine off, the heat of exhaust system esp. muffler, can ignite a grainfield (so I'm assuming cornfield is similar) if it is in contact for even a few seconds. 2) Even if they DID turn the engine off the instant they hit the field, there can be enough heat in the muffler and other components to light the field beneath them. Cars don't belong in fields. That's why farm vehicles have much higher clearance... and/or exhaust systems going out the top. That does still leave the question of how the car GOT there in the first place, though... [/QUOTE]
