Now, I feel more satisfied than ever with my $40k Datsun! Really, who's the genius who thought about using flammable glue for a heat shield in the engine bay? Aren't Ferrari engineers supposed to be the brightest in the world or something? Why not just bolt or rivet the damn thing? I hope it wasn't a cost cutting move. With the insane price Ferrari charge for their cars I'd expect no cutting corners or cost saving BS.

How the hell is a glob of adhesive lighter than a couple rivets?
