During World War 2, American soldiers nicknamed their Sherman tanks Ronson lighters because the “light the first time”, meaning they catch fire really easily. Does that remind you of any particular Italian car brand?
You really can’t have a Ferrari without worrying that somebody is either going to scratch it or let the air out of the tires... with a knife. But worse than all that is the fire problem, as every other week one lights up and goes up in smoke.
This one lost control on a rainy night (!!!) and crashed into a guardrail. As if that wasn’t enough, it also caught fire afterwards. Firefighting crews were soon on scene to put out the blaze, but this was no easy task, as the F430’s interior burned intensely.
This really isn’t a ‘safety first’ sort of car, is it?
