(Fargo, ND) -- A Fargo man is once again in need of a new vehicle, even though he just bought one. 

Edward Grubb says he noticed the smell of fuel as he was driving his new car yesterday morning; one day after he bought it. The vehicle quickly burst into flames, causing Grubb to leave the vehicle and get the attention of a nearby tow-truck driver who used a fire extinguisher to knock down the flames. 

Firefighters were called to the scene and they helped put out what was left of the blaze. There's no word yet on how the fire started.
