St. Louis Car Watch: Arsenal Street Along Tower Grove Park

Location: Arsenal Street along Tower Grove Park

The driver: heard a pop, pulled over, and next thing he knew, the hood was aflame.

Luckily: He escaped with his construction tools, with which he makes his living.

He said: “I’m asking Him what this is all about, what this means? Like is He telling me to get a new truck?”

Oh, you’re talking about the big man upstairs: “Yeah, that’s what I call Him, too.”

Anything to say after your brush with death?: “I don’t know what to tell you right now.”

Courtesy of the driver’s pal on the scene: “Out of the fire, into the storm. That’s life.”

About the mechanic who serviced the truck a week prior: “He must have fucked something up.”
