Every now and then we're reminded the common task we do thousands of times in our life can actually be dangerous at times: refueling. I can imagine all the engineers sitting around a table designing a $300,000 supercar the question of "What would happen if a dumbass in a minivan on the other side of the gas pump drives off with the nozzle still attached?" never occurred to them. Can't blame them. But now we know. Turns out the answer is the fuel from the hose will spray onto the car and immediately turn it into a fireball.
Incredible Dumbass Turns Lamborghini into Fireball at St. Louis Gas Station
If you're one of those folks who gets full-body shivers when they see a beautiful car smashed or burnt to cinders, then we're sorry: This story is going to suck.
That's because, on Saturday evening, a blue Lamborghini — specifically, a Huracan Performante — was transformed into a charred remnant of an automobile, and all because of arguably the dumbest thing that's ever happened in a gas station.
According to bystander Parker Gelber, the gorgeous, $275,000+ performance vehicle was taken from this world after a minivan, which had been fueling at an adjacent pump, drove off with the nozzle still connected.
"The pump sprayed fuel directly into the blue Huracan’s engine bay and it instantly ignited," Gelber wrote in a Facebook post Sunday. Thankfully, nobody was injured in the resulting inferno. But oh, the insanity!
