A cousin in law's pickup did catch fire from brake heat (don't ask me how because I don't know) this last Spring. Parked it, went inside his house, and then noticed it burning and ran out with an extinguisher! Ugh.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
