Memories from the annals of my being - The Used Car Lot Fire
I remember once when I used to work at a gas station the following story happened. It may or may not be true but I remember it as true so that is what counts.
There was a used car lot across from the gas station that always sold what I would call ‘questionable’ vehicles. They would bring them in to fuel them up and they wouldn’t start etc and I always wondered who bought from them.
One night a customer that was disgruntled over a lemon sold to him walked into the gas station, bought a jug of camp fuel, walked across the street and soaked the cars in the lot in camp fuel and lit er up.
He was immediately identified video the gas station cameras but I don’t know if they ever caught him.
I wonder what that guy is doing right now…

Clearly that story is a melting pot of fiction and truth. Since I am the one with the memory in teh family I can safely say no cars were burned because I would have remembered. But It’s possible he dumped gas on the palce but it’s still standing there.
