Not sure how to add multiple pictures to a Lemmy post. I have close-ups of the alternator housing and I think maybe the throttle body, melted 80% into the asphalt.

Contrary to my own misleading title, this picture was taken in Death Valley National Park up on top of a mountain where the air is crisp and cool.

It didn’t melt, it burned down.

Yeah there was a car fire probably

Yea... if the temperatures anywhere on the surface of the Earth got high enough to melt a car, I feel like we'd be extinct.

Saw something similar after being trapped by a burning car on the other end of the Eisenhower tunnel in Colorado for about 6 hours

When we were finally allowed to go that's about all that was left of it
