WRX burnt to a crisp

On 101-South right before the 280S/Alemany junction there was a 04/05 WRB WRX with its interior and engine completely burnt. Did anyone else see it? I was wondering if the car belongs to someone here on the forums. It looked pretty brutal, hope everyone is ok.

what time was this? it sucks to watch a car burn. friend of a friend told us his story of his MR2 burning. he took great care of that car. one day he was driving down the freeway and he smelled smoke. pulled over, and there was a small fire. he called 911 and waited while watching his car burn.

I've seen a car burn to the ground. It's pretty crazy. Once it spreads, the tires pop. Nothing like you see in movies haha. You crash into a tree and 2 seconds later it explodes. So is it anyone here??
