A McLaren F1 burned up in Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa. About an hour from my hometown.
It happened yesterday, when the owner took it out after six months of storage and an onlooker alerted the owner to smoke coming from the engine bay. The fire spread quickly and consumed the carbon fiber body work and 6.0 liter BMW V12 with horrifying efficiency. The car was a total loss, valued at $2 million and insured for $3 million, but the financial implications are nothing compared to losing one of these rare gems.
I'll say. They're not making any more of these. Nor is it getting any easier to own them in California.
I prefer my car fires to be of the funny variety:
Via Mark.
