As the 10th 458 gets smashed up/catches fire the media starts hypothesising about whether the car is jinxed...mmm they must be - send yours round to me for safekeeping
Of course this is not about schadenfreude at all...if you are a 458 owner reading this you are almost certainly considering outing your car for a turd brown Lexus or something similar surely?
By the way though - if you are serious about getting a 458 - despite it's amazing spec and glowing reviews - the waiting list is not quite as long as you might think......and if you take the plunge - a hand fire extinguisher might be a sensible plan.
