Looks like he illegally parked in a handicap zone and someone took serious offense.

That's probably where he bailed when it lit on fire. It looks like both the front burned as well as the gas tanks.

I hope he or she is ok!

I was gonna say a little Zaino but what the hey......

Then again, I heard the owner ran into the K-Mart that was right there in the mall and ran up to the customer service counter.

"Please help," he gasped. "My car's on fire! I need a fire extinguisher!"

Without even looking up, the guy behind the counter replied, "Aisle 12."

It can be fixed. It is not a mid engine.

I feel sorry for that owner. Tough way to lose a Vette. Hope he has good insurance.
