If you're going to the trouble of putting an unusual car on Germany's Nürburgring, you can do no better than handing driving duties to Sabine Schimtz, the woman who's put in more laps of the Green Hell than any other.

In both cases, a handful of owners say the vehicles burst into flame with little or no warning, like the Wrangler shown above.
