At least it wasn't one of us who caused it this time. Not sure if anyone saw this last month but I'll post it for those who hadn't:
Brush fire controlled after Jeep catches fire

NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Firefighters were able to control a brush fire after a Jeep erupted in flames, Friday afternoon.
According to investigators, 17-year-old Alessandro Cascarano had gone off-roading with his Jeep when his vehicle somehow got stuck in the mud, overheated and became engulfed in flames. The flames then quickly spread into a brush fire, burning about 10 acres.
The Miami-Dade Air Rescue helicopter, which transports people to the hospital, helped control the fire with water drops.
The site of the brush fire, off U.S. 27 and Krome Avenue, is owned by FPL. It is off limits to traffic, but officials said off-roaders still use the area. "It's really dry, since there hasn't been that much rain, and it's really easy to catch fire, I guess, said Franco Rotunno, who goes off-roading in the area.
Police gave Cascarano a trespass warning. He is OK.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said they will notify FPL to install a gate on that road to keep off-roaders away.

She's back! Finally got everything back together and despite having to put the old manifold back on(new gasket at least), I'm pleased with what I got out of the injectors. After a quick moment when the injectors and ecu got acquainted, the throttle response and idle are noticeably improved. I doubt I gained any real power but I'm still pleased. Free revving it is freaking awesome now.

I'd be down to go to Krome this weekend.
What do you guys think of this? It really does sound unique for a 4.0 liter:
