truck blew up

Oh my god today gave me alot of problems. First of all when i tryed to start my truck my starter fell apart so i need a new bolt for that but dont have time to get one, but last of all when i plugged in my engine block heater, i walked in the house and for some odd reason i decieded to go back out there i got out there and see that there is a huge fire ball under my truck right next to the gas tank. if i had been a couple minutes later i would have blown up for shure. I almost didn't get it all put out with my fire extinguisher. That was a scare.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN EXPERIENCE LIKE MINE, WRITE ABOUT IT HERE PLEASE!

When I was a junior in high school in 96 we wre out in the woods partying it up and when we all decided to crash we went to the cabs of our respective vehicles and crashed. My buddy Joe had driven his dad's 95 F-150 out there and had it parked on a downward slope to the fire. Mind you I never was known to build small fires either, they'd usually smoke for a few days from the coals, always a lot of heat. Anyway about daylight Joe rolled over on the seat and (truck was a 5 speed) apparently he had it in 2nd gear when he parked it. Ol joe knowcked her out of gear and it rolled right on top of the fire. Sat there for a few minutes till a drunk (maye hungover) friend had to pee and saw a truck on top of the fire. I woke up wondering what all te commotion was just in time to see Joe raise his head saying "shut up, I'm trying to sleep." When we got im to realize his truck was on the fire he pulled it off and the tires were smoking they were so hot. It sure is a memory.
