Apparently the irony was too much for the poor pickup truck to bear.

Anyone want to bet the campaign buys the guy a new truck? Photo opp for Mitt!

It's interesting how the guy insists that his new truck must also be white. Just saying.

I don't fully understand the reason for this post, but all the same I must say I can only feel pretty bad for the guy. Headed home for the funeral of a close friend, truck burns up. Sucks, man, regardless of who you support.

I don't get it. Why didn't he just blow out the fire with his super-breath?

That's nothing. I know a guy who voted for Nixon and a tree fell on his driveway.

Eh, he wanted to get noticed and now he certainly did. He'll probably be able to raise money for a new truck pretty easily.
