Sorry to hear about the fire and am glad you are alright.
Extinguisher would not have been enough

I need to find a small one. Do you keep it in your trunk? Seems like the ony place, but would make it harder to get to in an emergency.



I wonder how the OP ended up doing with USAA......

Sucks his car went up like that, I heard the 458 Italia goes up in flames cause of some used in the rear end area but don't know of any fire issues with the s, must have been a fuel leak. I wonder what was the end result of his battle with insurance company.

I need to talk to them because I have a rebuilt title. I dont wanna get screwed over and them trying to tell me the car was in terrible shape. So sorry to hear your situation bro..
