Man blesses his new BMW by burning incense, car catches fire, gets burnt to a crisp

aqvo · 06-14-2018, 05:52 PM

sucks...

BEM-S4 · 06-14-2018, 05:53 PM

Sounds like one of those insurance commercials "we've seen it and we covered it"

Neuera09 · 06-14-2018, 05:55 PM

Should've converted to Catholicism and asked a priest to sprinkle holy water.

Maybe it was a sacrifice.

I thought only we Hindus "bless" our cars with incense.

Nomana · 06-14-2018, 07:33 PM

Thailand.
PS. 1st pic was from news : monk mixed up the pen, he used permanent marker instead of erasable marker.

Yeah, but that would leave water spots.

I bet his boss got hot under the collar if he couldn't get to work.

I can't believe all the incendiary comments in this thread.

tuco44 · 06-14-2018, 09:56 PM

In-a-sense, he got a predictable result...............

mbchris · 06-14-2018, 11:04 PM

I think that car, 5 series, was made by BMW China JV Factory. Not Dingolfing. So it should have adapted to local conditions and customs.

One of my Hindu friends at work bought a F30 LCI and we went out to the parking lot to check it out. There was some red markings on the front and I had incorrectly assumed it was a bug or otherwise some foreign debris. So I did what any good friend would do and licked my thumb and proceeded to remove the "smudge". I got about halfway through before it clicked. His wife had blessed it and basically removed it in front of him.

Oops. I felt like such a jackass.

LBBF87 · 06-14-2018, 11:52 PM

I guess in China this is part of their break in service?

MilehighM3 · 06-15-2018, 01:09 AM

Lucky he didn't blow the welds on the intake...
