If you are on top of your iPod nano game then you already know that there have been reports of nanos catching ablaze, and that Apple Korea has even recalled their first-gen iPod nanos. But that doesn't really mean anything to us unless there are toasty photos to go along with these claims. Luckily for you, we have exactly what you are looking for.

 

A Swedish 9-3 Saab owner came to find their car designed by folks who make jets looking like it was left behind a jet engine. Investigators believe that the fire may have been caused by a nano that was left on the seat. It isn't clear though if the iPod was minding it's own business when it burst into flames, or if it was left charging on the seat when it decided to go out with a bang and take as many European car parts as it could along with it. Either way, this is pretty rad. How many Zunes do you know that can also double as weapon?

So what are Saabs made out of? Kindling?

So what song was playing on the iPod when it allegedly went ablaze?
