Poor car, maybe someone left a cigarette inside or something.

These car on fire threads are a dime a dozen on the exotic car sites. Someone always calling the car a POS and saying they always catch fire.

Stuff happens. Much rarer with these cars, though. Oh, and put out that cigarette.

That will take a few extra air fresheners hanging from the rearview to clear that aroma.

Considering it happened in the Middle East, maybe it was a RPG, eh?

Yeah I know, Bahrain doesn't have those problems...
