A Japanese man spent 10 years saving for his dream car, a Ferrari 458 Spider, but just an hour after acquiring it, the luxury vehicle caught fire and was destroyed.
The 33-year-old spent years diligently saving for this car, which was produced between 2011 and 2015.
With a starting price of $249,000, the Ferrari 458 Spider was a high-end investment for Honkon.
After finally getting behind the wheel, he drove it around Tokyo's Minato area. However, disaster struck when the car burst into flames shortly after he began his ride.
As the story spread online, people quickly flooded the comment sections, sharing their reactions and expressing shock and sympathy over the unfortunate incident.
See some reactions below:
@AznSlickSlaya: "He'll be fine. Warranty and insurance should cover him."
@KobeStreams: "wiring? over heating? damn hope everyone is safe."
@iDragonHeartz: "Ferrari's PR team probably already on it. With how much publicity this is getting, he will most likely get another new replacement for free."
@SupplyNinja: "If it takes you 10 years to save up to buy a car, you cannot afford that car. Buy it when you can afford 2 of them that year, not 1/10th of one."
@Fully_Looted: "That's strange. The 458 is regarded as very reliable and well rounded. Something had to be seriously wrong for it to burn like that."
