A man saved up for 10 years to buy a Ferrari only to see it go up in flames an hour later. That's not what you want to have happen.
When you save up for your dream car, you expect it to be around for a long time once you finally get your hands on it. The last thing you would want is for it to go up in flames after your first drive inside of it. Unfortunately, that's what happened to one Japanese man who saved up for 10 years for his dream car, a new Ferrari 458 Spider, and saw it go up in flames within an hour of driving it for the first time. Can you imagine?
Man's Ferrari Goes Up In Flames After First Drive
According to Oddity Central, the man who saved up for a Ferrari is known as Honkon and he's a young music producer. The 33-year-old took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the story of how he saved up for a Ferrari and then watched it catch fire while driving on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Sounds like he was taking it out for the inaugural test drive when it started smoking so he pulled over and it caught fire. So, he spent 20 minutes watching his dream car burn.
An investigation into the car fire is now underway. The reason for the fire remains unknown right now and there was no sign of collision. The car reportedly cost him around $306,000 so you can imagine that would be heartbreaking watching it go up in flames.
