On the same line of things.. electrical... datto's and burning...
Back when I was 18 one day while working on the datto I shorted
the + battery terminal to the body of the car with my metal watch band
while leaning across the engine bay...

It shorted right across the watch band clip Welding the damm thing shut
On My Arm !!  and off course cooking my arm in the process (burning flesh is
not a nice smell)   So hot that it burnt the fingers on my other hand while trying
to prize the welded shut clip open so I could get it off...

I had one of my 1st 1600's catch fire, just bought it and it had some very dodgy stereo wiring, a lose (+) wire I later found out, as it hit the handbrake mount and instantly burst into flame and went red, white then disintegrated. I rushed to the front, and grapped it from the battery and pulled it off as it disintegrated (ouch!), there was smoke everywhere and I was damn lucky as it had burnt quite a good groove in the fuel line somehow - that could have been fun. Extinguishers are a good addition to any car :)
