It's Never Good When a Vehicle Inexplicably Bursts Into Flames During a Test Drive (Video)

That thing is toast.

Before you commit to buying a vehicle, you should always—always, always, always!—take it for a test drive. A test drive will give you a better idea of how the vehicle performs on the road. It'll also ensure that you're happy with the way you feel when you get behind the wheel. And it'll give you a chance to find out whether or not the vehicle will inexplicably burst into flames the second you drive it off the dealer's lot. We're not kidding about that last part, either.

On Sunday afternoon, a man took a 2015 GMC Yukon out for a test drive in Anaheim, Calif. And everything was going just fine until, out of nowhere, flames started shooting out from under the hood. Within just minutes, the entire vehicle was on fire. And firefighters had to be called to put out the blaze, which completely destroyed the SUV.

Watch the video above to see what the SUV looked like after the fire finally went out. Safe to say the guy who test drove it won't be buying it, eh?
