Angie Mead King, car enthusiast and entrepreneur, shared a truly terrifying experience with her followers on Instagram after her beloved NSX caught fire on SLEX. Fortunately, Angie came out safe and sound, but the incident was one she won’t soon forget.

In her Instagram post, Angie reassured everyone, saying, “Thank you for checking in on me, I’m alive and lungs feel fine now.” The unexpected blaze was as intense as it was short-lived, making for a harrowing experience that left her grateful just to be alive. “This was traumatic to say the least, and a fire extinguisher wouldn’t have put out the flames at all,” she revealed, underscoring just how intense the fire was.

Despite the shock, Angie is already looking forward to better days—and possibly even another NSX someday. “One day I’ll get another one for sure,” she added, showing her true spirit as a dedicated car lover. But for now, she’s focusing on what matters most: being safe and cherishing life.

She didn’t forget to thank the people who came to her rescue. “Thank you to the Good Samaritan for picking me up on SLEX,” she wrote, adding that the fire and towing teams, along with the SLEX police, provided quick and effective support during the incident.

The takeaway? Angie’s resilience and gratitude shine through as she reflects on her near-miss. Her message was a reminder of how quickly things can change—and why it’s essential to appreciate each day. Stay safe on the road, and maybe, like Angie, we can find gratitude even in life’s wildest twists.
