Ferarri to Recall Italia cars
 
Ferrari is recalling the Italia Series cars due to "thermal incidents" AKA. they catch fire.

Initiating a recall is such a mistake. Fires are an integral part of Italian exotic car charm...

Just another sign of the times, everyone is going to these safe rounded blahmobiles. You can't have something sporty and hot...........

The Fiat X1/9 was one of the sharpest looking hibachi grills on the planet back in the day.

Porsche/VW cleverly routed steel fuel lines under the battery tray. If the battery leaked acid, the lines would be eroded until fuel would start to spritz around the engine compartment. Hilarity usually ensued.
