So I've been following the smoke for a while now.
Basically the new Italia is well on it's way to being the rarest car on earth.
Besides seeing a new 458 wreck every day, they're also going up in flames every time I turn around.

Here's a collection of articles and pictures and such about the whole ordeal.
