There is a highway here through the mountains that was built in the 1980's for the world Exposition in 1986. There is actually a series on the Discovery channel called "Highway Through Hell" or something like that about it. When it first opened, seeing a cooked or currently burning Audi on the side of the road was commonplace. My friend lifted 2 sets of head gaskets out of his diesel truck pulling his camper trailer up it. So while I don't doubt it's hard on vehicles, to me (and the insurance company apparently ha ha) a bankrupt guy's very well insured, 1 of 400 ever built Enzo catching on fire seemed a little fishy. But hey, I have been wrong before.

P.S. You know it's a legit filmed in Canada video when you see the Boler trailer go by at 21 seconds in. Man I want one of those!
