God hates me!
Well, sitting in class with my x in front of me (was gonna fix it in CAD club), my friend turns to me and says, "Dude, your car's on fire..." I look down, and smoke is pouring out. Turns out it burned up. Oh well, at least i have another one...
That's why I believe that god hates me. Do you?

Most people would argue something like God loves you, but I really don't know. How'd it burn up, exactly? Were you drving it, because I assumed it was turned off since you weren't paying attention to it.

Well, it wasn't responding this morning, so I took it to school to fix it. Car was OFF when this happened. Chassis and battery pack is burned (I dremeled the sides of my chassis for less weight). Also, the paper between the heatsink and board is burned.

Well, at least I have an extra board. It wasn't FETs. It was by the left battery pack. I think I'm gonna bring the Xmod Killa' back from the dead and just drive that. Maybe I'll get a Skyline and try to make the fastest xmod ever. If I do, it'll be called Project Nitro Killa'. Anyways, I am just getting my butt whooped by this car. It's a lemon! Maybe it's time to buy a Mini-T.

I figured it out, all right, and the carnage was not pretty. Imagine a slightly burnt chassis and slightly melted battery pack, and you'll get the picture.
