I drove 20 feet out of my garage and smelt a surfer smell. I put my convertible top down, put the car in park walked around to see if it was smoking or if the smell was coming from the engine or mufflers. When I could not detect where the smell was coming from, I put the top back up, closing it and turned the car off. I locked the car and went into my garage. As I looked back I saw sparks coming from the vent on the hood. I yelled for my husband & as he looked for fire extinguisher I called 911 & filmed the car. Within 30 seconds the car was on fire & with 90 second totally up in flames. Nothing but the shell of the car remained. The fire department, police & fire marshal were present. Arson was ruled out. I had a recall part installed at the dealer in 2012 for potential fires. The car was stationary in my driveway shut off. It had not been driven for 20 hours prior to the fire.
