WINONA, Minn. – Firefighters extinguished an under-the-hood fire in an automobile. Then the engine tied to start a couple times on its own — without the key being in the ignition. Was us a scene from Stephen King’s “Christine”? Probably not: This may have been angry vehicle but not a super-finned 1958 Plymouth Fury. The firefighters aimed their extinguishers again, full force and unending. Then they waited for everything to cool. Indeed, the engine settled down. What was going on? Nobody could tell for sure. The owner, however, had replaced a fuel line with plastic. This all was about 11:50 a.m. the 500 block of East Third Street in a car parked at a garage.
A distant cousin. Christine lives?
