It's a vw.
They're known for having engine fires.  ( I'm exaggerating, but a lot of
vw's over the years have caught on fire, seems like more than other makes -
I'd be interested what others think) 

Though I can't say vanagons and Syncro's are so bad, but a few of those have
burnt up.

Subject: Engine Compartment Fires but Erovan This Time

Got a note yeaterday from a friend in Kennsington, Ca (next to Berkley) and
his neighbor across the street had his 2003 Eurovan MV go up in flames while
parked (but just after being driven).  Fire started in the forward part of
the engine compartment.  The VW bus fire engine fire gremlin is now haunting
the T4's as well?
