German burns BMW in fuel protest

An unemployed German man has set his car on fire in protest at rising fuel prices, police say.

He drove the black 1995 BMW 3-Series car onto grass near a Frankfurt conference centre, emptied petrol over it and set it alight.

By the time the fire service got there, the car was burnt out.

There have been demonstrations across the world against rising fuel prices. The price of oil is trading at record levels of over $140 (£70).

"The Bavarian... said he carried out the act because he was unemployed and could no longer afford a car due to the high cost of fuel," police said in a statement.

He was released without charge but could still face charges for breaching Germany's pollution laws.

Did it ever cross his mind that maybe, just maybe, he could sell the car for money!?

Thats really good one!! :laugh:

He's got now his 5 min.

Haha! This is just crazy! Yeah, I would have just sold the car.

Well, setting one's car on fire is a guaranteed way to get 0 mpg and 0 euros back from that whole deal.

He could have sold his car for gas money. Wait........

Yeah, there are a lot of idiots in this world xD

So instead of using the petrol for the car, he decides to use it to torch the car instead...WHY?!

I guess he wanted to make some post-modern art.

don't thinks this will have the same effect as Thich Quang Duc self-immolation

He schould sell the wreck on ebay

Why? At least that way he wouldnt breed.

There is a big difference between protesting oppression and protesting the price of a commodity.

The only way he'd breed is if he raped someone. Every girl he met would be scared that he'd burn everything he didn't like.
