This isn’t surprising. That thing has been sitting there for a long time now collecting tickets.
Looks like they’re just warming it up before they drive up the mountain.
Vehicles parked for too long anywhere along 36 or alderpoint have a habit of catching fire…
Looks like they were running the heater on high.
That’s been there for weeks.
Much easier to burn it, than have it towed.
I actually think once they burn they can be towed immediately as a health hazard, as opposed to when they sit intact on the side of the road indefinitely. Honestly, them getting burned seems to be a problem solver.
WHOA, looks like it’s over heating!
Probably had the virus, and the owner put it out of its misery. I agree highway 36 is a “park and burn.”
My pickup breaks down near 101/hwy 36 interchange, it gets towed in less than 5 hrs. This RV which near the gate to our property sits for weeks being vandalized and ticketed and yet doesn’t get towed. Makes you wonder why, do they pick and choose which vehicles they will make money off of. I got my vehicle out in less than 24 hrs from Clydes towing and it cost me nearly 500 bucks.
