Well, I went over the page, and the letter isnt there anymore. The people
who own the car had the letter they wrote to NX on the page, and I believe
they took that down and have changed that page A LOT!! since I was there
last.. but I do remember them saying that the heater was wired through the
ignition switch, so any time the car was on, the heater was on. They said
they guy forgot to turn the car ignition off, and so the heater stayed on
for a good long while.... and then BOOM!!!!!
