1. Roads do melt...

Specifically those with blacktop pavement. That shit burns if you get it real hot. I used to operate a petroleum fuels truck and one of my fellow drivers had a wreck. He rolled over with a full 8600 gallons of gas and lit up the whole four lanes of southbound I-5 near San Onofre. Melted the crap out of the road. All that was left of the truck were the heavy parts... axles, engine block, transmission and a couple chunks of the frame that all fit on a 24' flatbed. Traffic had to be diverted until the freeway was rebuilt.

I had to blend into a new team on a new truck.
