I'm pretty sure that one of the major causes of fires in my general area is people mowing....

I HAD one of those. Black - Datsun 2000. I think it was around '66 or '67. Wife and I drove from Anchorage - out the Alcan - to our folks home in Omak, WA. and back. Rode like a COB - hard to keep in tune with the down-draft carbs. But it was a blast with the top down. Not so really great in the winter in Anchorage. Kept it three or four years - traded it in for a Jeep pickup.

There was a story on the Hot Rod channel, on an episode of Super Turbo Story Time about the Fairlay. One of the Datsun salesmen thought it would never sell in America with that name, and met some of the cars coming of the boats and rebadged them with 240Z emblems. Thet sold like hotcakes, the Japanese Datsun corporate bigwigs were pissed but relented and further shipments had the 240Z badging. But, as was common int Japanese business, they soon fired the salesman that rebadged them in the US, you don't mess with the bigwigs.

??? looks like 100% spam to me.
No, it's a real place
I had done a search on the page for "ignite" so those were highlighted in the screenshot

Seriously though most of the fires around here in late spring through fall occur just west of where I'm at, from a mile to about ten miles, I'm almost certain that a majority of them are started by people mowing and hitting rocks, sparking a fire in super dry grass.

The temperature there is very often 100F with 10-15% humidity (thankfully I'm a little higher up so close to 10F cooler though just as dry; it's still too hot for me but even a bit of a breeze makes it workable if you keep the sun off of your skin!).

The car we call Mercedes-Benz, was not named that originally. In 1901 it was called Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft The first dealership in the US, Emil Jellinek-Mercedes, wanted a better name to sell the cars. So he branded them as "Mercedes," after the name of his daughter. The name of the company entirely changed, and is not of German origin.
