I spilled soda on to my keyboard. So my keyboard is dried and working again. It's 3 a.m. Mom's sleeping. I plug it in and start to work. Suddenly I smell this really bad burning rubber type of smell and get scared if my computer or the keyboard somehow caught fire (or otherwise malfunctioned like out TV once) so I quickly shut it down and pull the plugs. I sniff around but the computer itself doesn't smell or feel warm so I keep sniffing and searching around the apartment and suddenly I notice that the smell is coming from the open balcony door and think if somehow one of mom's cig stumps has magically ignited itself so I go there and notice that the whole yard is misty with smoke (our apartment is at 4th floor so I see it pretty clearly) and it's getting worse.

I look around if the smoke is coming from this side's windows but see nothing suspicious, so I put more clothes on and quickly go outside with my cell so I can call the firemen if some other nearby apartment has caught on fire, walk around the corner and see firemen extinguishing a car at our backyard parking lot which motor had caught fire!
Not sure what happened since the car seemed to be parked and I hadn't heard any crashes. Nor the firemen, sneaky saviours.
