i took the celi out to take pics tonight and it was going really well nothing new....well i started the car to leave and the car sounded really weird, like the fan belt was rubbinmg something so i popped the hood to check it out.....nothing just the weied noise....so i turned the car off and the starter kept turning trying to start, i figure ok turn the car on, it worked....turn it off same thing.....so i turn it on and call my brother. He says bring it home. I tell him it's running hott and heat is pouring out of theengine bay as well as a electrical burning smell......bring it home is his response. So i start to bring it home and next thing i know the smell is stronger and heat is like pouring around my legs......i start to question driving the car any further, the inside lights go all weird and go out and then the exterior lights go out and kill the car......The smoke rolls out from under the hood.......WARNING....this is not good......the celi never cought fire but apparently came damn close...and the weird part is look at this picture i took tonight not 30 min before this all goes down....

I have had this on a car before, I bet the starter got sstuck on and burnt itself out, they can get very very hot when turned constantly, Good luck and I hope you sort it.
