I bet some 458 owners are a little hot under their collars.
Here you go, J. Leno: "The 458 Italia is so HOT they are featuring it in the sequel to "Gone in 60 seconds"...." " McLaren have been studying the 458 in detail and decided to change the name of their new 2011 car from MP4-12C to MP4-12CFP, adding the FP for FireProof" "the 458 Scuderia will be a hybrid car: it will drive on fuel and LOTS OF WATER" " on the dashboard, customers can now order the "car temperature gauge" to be installed next to the oil temperature gauge" .... feel free to add and let's not overdramatise until further details are known.... F
Ever seen a 458 with a radar detector plugged into the lighter? The cord stretches right to the engine bay.
Hey Mike. I'm pushing for a byline on Extra or Inside Edition intitled: "Nomex..... Should you or shouldn't you when owning or riding in a 458."
The new Ferrari 458 song... Burnin' Up the Road By: John Anderson I Got a long distance call from Louisiana She said, "oooohwee baby, wanna see my man" I Can't wait another day I said, "Hold on honey, I'm on my way" It's 500 miles From Dallas to New Orleans gonna let her roll just as fast as she'll go I got a sweet thing waiting for me This time I'll be highway flyin' No way I'm gonna take it slow She's my heart's desire I got wheels of fire I'm burnin' up the road All the way to Baton Rouge Well, I'm smokin' these tires like a crazy fool Barrelin' down the interstate Runnin' wild, attemptin' fate It's 500 miles From Dallas to New Orleans gonna let her roll just as fast as she'll go I got a sweet thing waiting for me This time I'll be highway flyin' No way I'm gonna take it slow She's my heart's desire I got wheels of fire I'm burnin' up the road Engine's overheatin', but I ain't gonna stop Well she only lives a few more blocks Blood's pumpin' fast, and radiator's hissin' I can almost feel the huggin' and kissin' It's 500 miles From Dallas to New Orleans gonna let her roll just as fast as she'll go I got a sweet thing waiting for me This time I'll be highway flyin' No way I'm gonna take it slow She's my heart's desire I got wheels of fire I'm burnin' up the road She's my heart's desire I got wheels of fire I'm burnin' up the road She's my heart's desire I got wheels of fire I'm burnin' up the road Hope these fires get sorted out soon. All the best, Andrew.
So true. I don't remember the exact details ... and I think the insurance company was State Farm but don't hold me to it. Anyway, a car caught on fire in the garage which then caused the house to burn. The problems arose when the insurance company and home owner couldn't agree on which policy to file the claims under. If they used the home insurance policy then the house and its contents (including the car) were covered. If they used the car policy then the house wasn't covered. I don't remember the outcome. I would think it wise that owners check their policies to see what is covered.
WOW, they are buring up faster then marshmellows at a Girl Scout Camop Out! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/7967132/Another-Ferrari-458-Italia-goes-up-in-flames.html
