When transporting a gas grill in your SUV, make sure the gas is off.

The Orlando Police Department officials said Pierre Dadaille was driving a rented Kia Sorento and his wife, Meguydeline Dessource, was in the passenger's seat around 3:30 p.m.

AND, don't have any warrants when you blow up your rented SUV.

Police said Dadaille had an open warrant for his arrest on charges of aggravated fleeing and eluding.

Stupidity hurts.

Wow… it took a lot of explosive force to do that. It’s amazing they both lived through it.

It looks like the grill may have launched through the roof and is now in orbit.

Yes but every vehicle is designed to stop it from being crushed from the outside, not expanded from the inside.

I bet they are going to be saying "what" to everything said to them for a while. I cannot imagine the amount of ringing their ears are doing right now.

Even more evidence that charcoal is the way to go.

I see this as a "Why you should quit smoking" ad.

I'm a firm believer that we all get little hints from time to time as to what we should, or should not be doing.  Think they'll take the hint?

[monkeylizard]

Not a chance.

In all reality it did give some valuable information for sure. The KIA is one tough little SUV and tells the terrorists it would not be a good choice vehicle to make a car bomb out of..............JMHO

I could never own one of those, being retired military I just can't look past K.I.A.

Kinda like Novas not selling in Mexico. "No Va" in Spanish is "not going". Gives a bad impression.   

That had never jumped out at me about KIA though. Maybe they are based in South Korea, but really run by North Korea and they set that up as a joke a long time ago. Or this gas grill story is just a cover up for the fact that North Korea has implanted bombs in all KIA vehicles to be used as a first attack on the US. Grab your tin foil hats boys. 

Maybe I should cut back on my caffeine today. LOL

A good warning before Football season!

From the looks of the car it looks like they had the grill in the front seat.

This happened in Brentwood years ago.  A guy had just filled up his propane grill tanks and was going home.  Something ignited it and I think he died.  Happened at the Concord Rd exit of I-65.

I get nervous each time I have to transport one. It's basically a big bomb. This thread isn't helping my paranoia
