Smoke from fire on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Boston

Kait photographed the smoke rising from a car fire on the inbound turnpike under Washington Street shortly after noon today - not long after another car went up in flames on River Street at Rosa Street in Hyde Park.

Dessert1st got a view of the smoke plume from higher up:

Ever think of checking the engine oil, have exhaust system maintained, etc.? Or is this a trend with certain makes, models? Recall time?

I had a friend who had a car fire due to the mechanic leaving an oily rag behind after doing an oil change. Bad news.

What's with this lately? There was another incident on Wednesday on 93NB just before the Tip O' Neil. Right after the last bridge you go under before you approach the tunnel.
