Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

I was roasting the tires and pulling holeshots in my 03 windstar when something caught fire under the hood. I always carry a fire extinguisher and got he fire out. My question is why did it catch on fire, just from laying black patches.

You might want to sell the Windstar and buy a Mustang and get rid of your Mullet. A Windstar is not a race car.

Thanks for the Input , but I was trying to see how fast I could go in reverse and wrapped my windstar around a tree, she's totalled. By the way I don't have a mullet, I have a mowhawk.
