ATTENTION ALL 458 OWNERS: Stop driving your car for a week and save a 458.

I read on a blog that with this rate a 458 goes up in flames every 10 days on average.

this is going to be a bit of a xpost for me, but since someone used same message and pics as their first post on "the other board", and I feel strongly about this issue, please allow me to repeat myself.

I must've missed the memo that says otherwise, but where I come from... crashes, fires, and any other misfortune that befalls an exotic car...is not newsworthy!

I'd go so far as to request from admin/mods that any picture watermarked by Wrecked Exotics and xposted here be deleted and the user who posts it be given a firm warning not to do it again.

Maybe there's an issue with 458's, maybe there's not. Is it really worth posting every time another one crashes or catches fire?

+1! It is quite annoying after while to keep seeing postings like these.

My 458 still runs very strong without any hiccup and I still have the utmost confidence in this car, I'm sure most of the 458 owners out there would echo the same sentiment.

Umm DERRRRR!!!

Of course your 458 is running fine - they all do before they crash or burn. Thats the nature of it.

In case you werent aware I will say it again - THINGS ARE FINE BEFORE THEY GO BAD. Thats the difference between "before" and "after".

Its either burning or its not. There is no half burning...............or "sorta" burning.

And if you dont like it, dont read it, dont click on the link.

Chinese and North Korean Communism makes an appearance on Teamspeed.

I am sure swordsman did not know the difference between on-fire and not on-fire. Thanks for clearing that up for him, and the rest of us.
