SW03ES Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I started a thread in the General forum too but I figured I would also start one here. I was watching MSNBC this morning and a breaking news story came on that a Lexus RX had exploded when the owner, an Arkansas family doctor, started it up outside his home. ATF and FBI are on the way to investigate foul play, I can't imagine how it could literally explode without foul play... Later updates identified it as a hybrid.

vinovelo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Lets try and keep this discussion together, here's the thread in the general forum:http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=55038 Please try and respond there. Looks like an RX400h alright. No mention as to the model and year in this article: http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/04/doctor.car.blast/index.html /Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Police: Doctor injured when bomb erupts in Lexus earlier........... Earlier, police told CNN affiliate WREG that they did not believe foul play was involved. I would venture to say that if a relatively new vehicle erupts in a large explosion upon startup, foul play should be the first thing that comes to mind! That's akin to someone starting his electric leaf blower only to have it blast a 6-foot hole in his yard and having the police say that they do not believe foul play is involved. Incredible....... Sorry, Steve, I couldn't help myself.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
