Spoiled Son Sets Fire To Ferrari In Order To Upgrade To New Model
In a bizarre case out of Europe, a 20-year-old Swiss man reportedly set fire to a Ferrari 458 Italia given to him by his father in a half-baked scheme to use the insurance money to upgrade to a new model. Incredibly, the spoiled brat is said to have had 14 other cars (including a Lamborghini) at his disposal in addition to a property portfolio worth close to $30 million and a monthly allowance that fluctuated between $5,000 and $10,000.
As Swiss publication 20 Minutes first reported, the 20-year-old in March of 2014 visited a dealership to get his car valued so that he could trade it in for a new model, possibly the 458 Speciale which went on sale about then. The quote he received was $193,500, which wasn’t enough to cover the cost of the new model.
It’s alleged the man was short of funds at the time so one of the dealers suggested he destroy his car in order to claim the insurance value, which presumably was higher than the quoted value. Three accomplices were recruited, including a person working at the dealership, and to avoid suspicion the group crossed the border into Germany to do the dirty deed.
Once they found a quiet area, the 20-year-old and one of the accomplices visited a massage parlor while the other two set fire to the car. However, security camera footage and telephone recordings led to a prompt arrest of those involved.

Notice that the kid involved is SWISS. From SWITZERLAND. You know, from one of the magical places where everything is awesome all the time. Cue the lunatics, including Octafish, who has been driven insane with hatred of Bush: leveymg (32,165 posts)
1. This should land him a top position managing a big bank. The right stuff for the role.
Only difference, he'll be burning pension systems and entire countries some day.
Impossible. He's Swiss. Only Americans do bad things, remember?

UBS vice chairknuckle Phil Gramm brought in Bill Clinton and George W Bush and others to help the Cause...

Coincidentally.
Octafish, who has yet to experience the year 2008, does his favorite move: takes something totally unrelated and finds a way to haul in the object of his obsession. What a pathetic turd.

9. Literally makes me sick
I have sleepless nights worrying how im going to make my old truck last another year and still pay my bills while this clueless asshole destroyed a Ferrari just so he could get a new one. He has no idea what it feels like to work so hard that it hurts to sleep. He has no clue what it feels like to have a debt free life just beyond your grasp. He will never understand the terror that strikes you when your vehicle makes a funny noise with no money in the wallet and 5 bucks in the bank, being one breakdown away from losing everything.
I despise people like this.
It LITERALLY made you sick. LITERALLY? Reading a story about a rich kid in a different country on a different continent whom you will never meet and who may as well not even exist...LITERALLY made you sick?
I'm pulling for him to get his new Ferrari, and for you to be crushed under the weight of your broken-down truck.
That ought to send you to the ER, DUmbass.
DU: making something of nothing since 2001.
