There was a Kia burning on the side of 287 yesterday, full on rolling flames, smoke, and all. I don't think anyone was hurt, but the car is toast (obviously).

Amazingly, absolutely no smell of burning car made it into the Mach e, despite a heavy cloud in an underpass and extending down the road a little bit. My daughter and I were both gobsmacked not to smell anything. She did say she could feel the heat through her window, which was interesting.

Kudos to the @Ford Motor Company HVAC team for making that happen. Quite surprising.

The HVAC system automatically opens and closes the fresh air damper while you drive to conserve energy. You must have passed the burning car while it happened to be closed. If you get behind a stinky truck you will smell it eventually when the damper opens periodically for fresh air.
