Acadiana redditor fdisk2053 posted pictures and the story of what happened on Monday in the Burlington Coat Factory parking lot.

For everyone that's wondering, Its a 2008 Smart Fortwo Cabriolet edition. I went to Burlington Coat Factory to get a dress for my girlfriend and i realized I don't know what kind of dress she likes, so I was going to go back home and ask her some indirect questions to figure out what she wants, I came back outside and notice wisps of smoke coming out the cracks of my door and window. The cabin was completely smoked out so I couldn't see inside, I felt the glass to make sure that it was not hot and to also make sure that I didn't cause a flash-over. It was cool so I carefully open the door and there was a bunch of fire under the dash board and the rest is history.. Fire Department seems to think it was an electrical fire.
