Or why you dont buy cars that catch on fire if you rev them a bit. But also agree on your point haha.

That car should have a sticker on the inside that read, 'a possible fire can occur, if you rev the engine.' Should have had the recall done for a longer exhaust tip. That is crazy!

Lambos burn all the time. Good thing they aren't mass produced.

I've seen a lot of videos of Lamborghinis catching fire when they get revved. It seems like a huge issue.

Depending on the owner, he may have lost more than his job.

I can't blame the Valet for what happened. Actually he may have done the owner a favor and saved someone's life....depending on when the POS Lambo caught fire....Same thing could have happened with the owner or anyone else driving it.
Lambo is lucky the valet kid didn't lose his life or get injured. He could have sued the crap out of Lambo or the owner and won. You can't blame revving a POS and it catching fire on the Valet.

I actually agree with you to a point. But the little shit should not be reving 300k dollar cars either. Or any car for that matter.
