Aluminum isn't flammable.

why was I expecting to see C0mp3x's red subie wagon engulfed in flames?

Oh well, the turbo and rims are still fair game.

What?

"Actually, aluminum is extremely reactive, and any bare surface instantly grows a microscopic oxide layer (corundum) that is air tight and prevents further oxidation. In extreme heat, aluminum can begin to burn (similarly to magnesium), and can even burn under water by stealing the oxygen from water."

How did you think they perform underwater welding? With a lightweight gas? Under that much pressure?

Besides didn't anyone ever tell you that once a block catches fire don't ---- with it? Magnesium and Aluminum fire are just about impossible to put out.

roflcopter.

I made some homemade thermite before I could drive. Made a "rust maker" with a battery, and powdered aluminum.

Lit it with a lighter and magnesium ribbon.

Aluminum can't burn

Later on bought some off the interwebs and paid $15 for it, Doug and I tried to light it but can't remember if we ever got it going.
