Heard super cars like Ferrari and Lambos catch on fire. Looks like adhesives are prone to catching on fire for some of these accidents, but others unknown.

Heh, I used to drive Lambo Murcielago and it once almost caught fire - the rear plastic parts ended up completely melted. It was giving me signals when I couldn't suddenly go faster than 120kph, some people were also overtaking me with weird looks (I guess they saw fire or something). It seemed to extinguish itself though and later I could go over 300kmh. When I went refueling, I saw the damage and that was it.

Wow what do you drive now? What are your thoughts on electric cars and their linear torque curve? Will you ever own one?
