Is It Supposed To Do That?


I got my VW bus out of storage last week. It needs help with some electrical circuits before I drive it out to Nevada in August. I moved the fuse box so I could get at certain parts. I put the fuse box back in the general location but didn't snap it into place. When I went to start it, it ran fine for 10 seconds or so and then quit. I thought it just stalled but then I noticed smoke coming from under the dashboard. I turned off the key and disconnected the battery. My good friend, Nate, was there and he assures me it's nothing to worry about. That he's done much worse to a beetle in the past with no permanent effects. I'm hoping he's right. I don't want the thing to act possessed all the way to Burning Man.
