The law of averages is a cruel mistress.

Now an exceptionally high % of the production is now "susceptible to fire".

IF I had a million bones into that car Id be quite curious as to how my investment would hold out.

I would say good investment there is now one less out there
Also if your that kinda baller it's just another toy and insurance will pay well :skull

I've met a guy who's Ferrari Enzo burned up few years ago on the highway near Kelowna BC. He was from Alberta so hopefully private insurance payout was better there than it would have been here in BC with government insurance.:skull

Interesting..... Caledon has a few very wealthy residents. Its mostly farms turned into mansions type place. My aunt has a vacation farm property there.

In the 90's Ferrari of Ontario took a customers car out of there storage and it caught fire. A nice 1985 288 GTO, worth about $500K to $1million.

Sucks, that it burned up in all places a gas station.

Actually just thought of this the owner of Pfaff Porsche and McLaren owns a place near Caledon. Wonder if it was him.

In the 1990s that car would have been worth maybe 250k

That said - that's a drag!

Late 90's still worth less back then.

Porsche 918 Spyder (plus) hybrid seems like and oxymoron to me.

All supercar makers are going hybrid.

Have to seen the specs for the McLaren P1, or Ferrari's LaFerrari hybrids? They're ridonkulous.
