The shiny puddles look like some low-temp metal melted and oozed out of the car as it burned. I wonder what part(s) melted, and what type of metal it is?
The picture is from a NPR piece about the current Los Angeles wildfires: https://www.npr.org/sections/the-picture-show/2025/01/09/g-s1-41784/los-angeles-fire-photos
Looks like a fallout screenshot. It you pan just a little to the right there would be the red rocket gas station and dogmeat looking at you.
From the corner of my eye, I thought it was exactly that.
