    Ok guys and gals I'm new here and seeking some advice on what may have happened to my car.. The story..

    08 GP in excellent condition 70,000 miles. Never did any mods to it, all factory parts including the radio.

    Ok I'm driving home from work on the interstate during rush hour. ABout 30 minutes into the ride I notice a burning smell (plastic). 2 minutes later my cab starts to fill with smoke and flames are shooting out from under from the top of the cubby hole under radio, area control. I pull over to the side of the freeway and within 5 minutes the car is engulfed in smoke and flames. The odd part there was very little damages under the hood. Hell the engine still looks brand new.
