Read on to find out more about the Fried-Filipino-Ferrari-F430
"Yup, this was yesterday, around 7:30 am to about 8:30 when the flat bed arrived to scoop it up.
The car owner is a good friend, and I was with him yesterday...actually right behind him when the fire started. We were driving a bit quicker at the skyway, but when we reached SLEX, we slowed down because of traffic. The incident happened right before the Susana Heights exit (800 metres from it). We were following each other (there were about 8 of us doing a leisurely sunday drive) at the part of SLEX where the lanes were guided by plastic orange things...so it at about 60 km/h. The car started to accelerate a bit after the single lane guide, and the fire erupted form the left rear bank of the car.
Thought it was an engine blow out, but it was actually a fluid leak on to the hot exhaust part of the car. We tried to get a fire extinguisher but the only one available came too late, and was not enough to stop the fire.
The owner stepped out of the car immediately after he saw the rear fire errupt in his sidemirror. It did not blow up, just burned (up to 20 feet fire) until the entire rear half melted and the fire truck came to stop it.
It was an unreal sight, and was a very sad moment. Luckily the car is covered under warranty still, and there are worldwide reported incedents of similar events!
at eto pa..
The only disappointing thing of the day (apart from the burning car of course) is the group of Alessandra racing...the Madrigal family in a convoy of escalade and Ford F150 with the racing graphics, who was in a convoy presumably going karting to carmona...passed the fire...at quite an early stage I might add...did not even stop to offer help but instead started to clap slowly at the loss of my friend. Crab mentality at its peak!"
