Normally when I write about modified cars, it's intentional modification. This is not one of those times. Lava has been spewing from the Kilauea volcano of Hawaii for about 4-5 days now, and it's claimed another victim. Not a person, but a Ford Mustang.
The area has since been evacuated, so no need to fear. There haven't been any injuries, but around 35 structures have been damaged. Though clearly, some remained (in this case, CBS Miami), otherwise this video footage wouldn't be around right now.
Viewable below, the video shows a white Mustang sitting along the side of the road, as a slow and menacing lava plume makes its way directly for it. Filled with a bloodlust and hatred for the Ford Motor Company, the lava first starts with the soft tires, the natural weakness to Mustangs. It then (very) gradually envelopes the vehicle, while what appears to be R2-D2 is tied to a post and forced to watch.
All things considered, the Mustang put up more of a fight than I thought it would. Lava from the Kilauea flows at about 895 degrees F according to the United States Geological Survey. If you were like me, you may have been hoping the fuel tank would cause a burst or explosion of some sort. Alas, out desires go unanswered. The video cuts out before the car is totally consumed, so if it does explode, we don't see it.
Now the important question: Do you think their insurance company will cover this?
