Wait, what? What possessed them to burn a candle in their car?
I am guessing here, but smelly car?
Wow! Burning a candle while driving….?

My immediate thought 🙂
Lol!
As my Oak Ridge North, Texas friend likes to say – “you can’t fix stupid”…!
Excellent way to put it! What next? Reminder: breathe in after breathing out?
I hope there was an idiocy clause in the drivers insurance policy.
Sounds like a claim for a Farmers Insurance commercial.
Hehehe. One of very few commercials I enjoy.
Yes! They should make it a Farmers ad for sure! One thing it would achieve is it to elevate the intelligence of any animal they’ve featured in previous ads… for instance, the Mer-mutts…

Insert Picard facepalm here.
”
The car was destroyed. No one was injured.” hahahahaha!!!
Thank you!
Also: Do not burn candle near stacks of papers, or near papers blowing around.
Do not barbecue while driving.
Do not allow dogs to try to jump in front seat. If dog is misbehaving, do not disrupt driving to discipline dog. (Horror writer Stephen King was severely injured by driver who turned out around to yell at dog. The driver had a history of automobile accidents. Stephen King commented that his back was broken by one of his own characters. King’s efforts to have the driver’s license revoked as a perpetual threat was unsuccessful).
Do not build fireplaces into the car.
Do not swallow lit candles.
Do even swallow unlit candles.
Do not attempt any other means to insert flames, or ultraviolet light into your body cavities.
