I have now effectively ruined the bumper, light, and wind diffuser.

I am an idiot.
Please feel free to make fun of me and tell me what an idiot I am...
You guys always told me so. You were right.


Please be careful with your RX-7's my friends,
Otherwise shit like this will happen.
Running the car indoors is the idiot factor, not roasting the bumper. You could of killed everyone in that house.

To be fair (and I'm not defending the OP by any means) I will run my car in my garage as well. But... every time I do I have the garage door at least half way open, and prefer to have a second door to the outside open as well or air circulation.

Roger that, and I bet you don't do it with the exhaust end of the car facing an interior wall either. I do the same, but the exhaust faces an open garage door and blows outside. This knucklehead had his exhaust pipe blowing into a wood cabinet, which appears to be positioned against an interior wall.
