Our cars are slow and ubiquitous; we have to gloat about something.

"The Ferrari 458 Italia. Can outrun almost anything on the road. Except a fire-truck."

I do not suppose this has any relation to the new Italia, but cars that spend more time in storage, then on the road seem to succumb to the nesting and associated chewing of rodents on electrical and fuel lines. Then a quick run to the restaurant, yacht club, or beach house, and poof . . .

It is a shame to lose any of them in such a way, they are beautiful to look at.

HA! Good point! I've always been one of those people who parked next to more expensive cars than mine on purpose thinking I'd get fewer door dings ... but now I'll have to reevaluate my technique and think about the fire factor!
