I second that.. Actually, they catch fire because when the glue is heated it drips on the exhaust, and catches fire then..

wow, to spend all that money and have your car burn up....ghezzzz......

 

I heard they were recalled also.

 

Actually it was my question, and I really appreciate the response.

The wife and I are discussing the possibility of picking up a Ferrari (or other stupidly expensive car (for us) as another daily driver/weekend toy).

 

I received the following from the local ferrari Club president on Sept. 3.

"
Ferrari is recalling 1,248 copies of the 458 Italia to replace an adhesive prone to catching fire.
The adhesive is used in the wheel-arch assemblies. If it overheats, it can ignite.
Ferrari says it has received five reports of 458s catching fire; some of those burning cars have become Internet stars.
The Italian automaker began looking into the situation in August after five 458s caught fire in California, Paris, Switzerland, China and one other unnamed location.
Ferrari is asking the owners of all 458s built before July 10 to take them to the dealership to have the glue removed and fasteners installed.
If it's too late and your 458 was damaged by fire, you will get a new one, Ferrari said.
