No its not a obsession but I cannot believe that there has has been no recall on what is a hot piece of machinery.

Not sure how Ferrari blames 6 out of 10 fires on owners as they all appear to in mixed driving conditions.

Does the new Ferrari have a button on the dashboard that says FIRE!!and drivers somehow think that it is a new go fast button or something??

And to think we all frowned on Gallardo's.... which almost appear fireproof compared to these.

Once again: "Break out your hot dogs and marshmallows, we got us a car fire!"

Man, that has to be a horrid feeling, standing there watching your baby burn away.

Ugh, been there, 1000 mile old freshly built custom 2.0L turbocharged motor in my first Audi. Downpipe came loose at 100mph, melted fuel line, boom. Watched fire lick out of the hood, used tiny extinguisher, did nothing. Yanked everything from the trunk and just stood there in the median of an exit ramp watching the flames get larger. When all of a sudden someone in a truck with a racecar in tow just happens to take the same exit in the middle of nowhere MA, yanks a huge halon extinguisher from the bed of the truck, asks me to pop the hood and saves the car from being a total meltdown. Gentleman runs off and doesn't even stop long enough for me to thank him, saved wheels, coilovers, large amount of stereo equipment and the freshly built motor plus turbo all lived to be resold. Talk about a helpless feeling, it's just a car, but the attachment is still there. I don't recommend the experience...
