Haven't seen this posted here yet but who burns down there 2014 Ferrari 458 in order to get a new car.
Wrecked supercar - Boy sets fire to Ferrari so his Dad buys him a new one - GQ.co.uk (http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/entertainment/articles/2015-08/12/ferrari-burned-by-swiss-boy-458-italia-wrecked-supercar)
After deciding that a 202mph, 570 horsepower Ferrari no longer met his exacting requirements, the 20-year-old son of a Swiss millionaire deliberately set fire to his 458 Italia in the hopes of getting a newer, faster Ferrari.
According to the New York Daily News, the young man, who was given the car alongside a property portfolio worth around £19.3 million and received £7,000 a month from his father, visited a "massage parlour" in Germany while friends set fire to his outdated 2014 model.
NYDN reported that the idea was actually seeded by a salesman at the Ferrari dealership the boy visited to get a part-exchange valuation on his 458 (one of 14 luxury vehicles in his personal garage). But having paid three accomplices around £10,000 the arson was caught on security cameras, and from the footage police were able to identify the fraudsters.
The 20-year-old told the court that he'd run out of money and he wasn't brave enough to tell his father he didn't like the Ferrari. He was sentenced to 22 months' probation and fined £20,500. We imagine he's probably grounded, too.
