First that guy in Utah wins a Lambo and then crashes it, and now this.

Not sure which Portland this occurred in, though.

It seems as if a surprising amount of people who buy cars like Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Ferraris and such do so without learning how to actually drive one.

As I understand, a private owner loaned the Lambo for the car show. The show staff then revved the engine to the redline in neutral. No airflow, no cooling! Morons. When they got tired of holding the gas pedal they wedged it with a piece of wood and left the car at high RPM and zero speed.

Gee I wonder why it caught fire? :roll: How stupid can they be!! ! These are CAR show organizers! They of all people should know better.

Reminds of the 458's that are burning.

With the 458, it's the clue in the wheel wells. It just so happen to be flammable... and right beside the engine...
