Typical of Italian trash.

Bet the ladies over at Ferrari Chat dot com are making excuses as to why their glorified FIATS are becoming rolling BBQ's.

So the moron owner has one model that burned itself up and yet he bought another from the same brand. Guess you don't need brains to own a FIAT.

Is this somehow related to the identical fire that trashed the silver F430 posted in the Gallery section??

F430s aren't the first stallions to have trouble with their engines catching fire. Old news...

I wonder if he changes his own oil?

The oil filter is really torqued down well on these cars, and you can easily blow hot oil all over the engine if it wasn't put on properly.
