Hose clamp mounted with the screw-side rubbing up against the fuel line
both of which are running next to the exhaust manifold.

well now, that is a big 'whoops'...
actually, if it was turned around as the high energy wrench head had described, there still would be a potential problem as the edge of the band would stick out possibly rubbing/cutting the fuel line.

In this case, one of those PITA 'chrysler' compression hose clamps may be better, if oriented correctly and one could get enough room to squeeze it.

I hope that's authorized now that Chrysler doesn't own Ferrari, anymore...

Sure, their as-new owners don't care that much. Wreck it buy a new one.

For the more budget-conscious owner who gets it post-marshmallow a later
video shows the engine cleaned up pretty well and should be salvageable:

I've heard (definitely second-hand here) that Ferraris tend to be
relatively easy cars to work on, perhaps the designers aware of their
shortcomings and expect that a car with a $200,000 sale price will
surely be repaired if it at all can be. like they put the fuel pump
behind a panel in the trunk where it can be quickly pulled and swapped
unlike a 1990s Chevy where the fuel pump is mounted on the top of the
tank and basically have to dis-assemble the whole undercarriage to get
at it. Or even one of the recent Chevy Malibus where to access the
headlamps you have to remove the front bumper.

Yeah the Chevy fuel pump costs $50 and the Ferrari's cost $1800 (and
there are probably two) but at least they're easy to get at they know
they're gonna break.

The story as of last week seems to be our hero chose not to rebuild the
probably-salvagable engine simply due to parts cost and availability on
the car. that job plus the required body and interior work breaks the bank.

So he's going to put a three-rotor Wankel in it instead

last month, rather: <https://youtu.be/Vby-o4gehl0>

They wouldn't have that problem if the driver didn't wind it up to 10,000 RPM just to hit 35MPH.

it's a car they stopped making 20 years ago, and it looks like you can
easily find one for ~$70000

the main purpose of such an expensive toy is the glorious sound of that

In the US when the insurance adjusters declare a vehicle a total loss
the vehicle then gets issued either a "salvage" title or is declared
"destroyed" and is un-title-able. Even pretty heavily-damaged cars I see
with salvage titles on auto auctions but the adjusters judged this one
"destroyed" and the guys here had to fight with them to change it back
to "salvage." But it would seem the adjusters knew what they were
talking about...

Needs a tunnel to set it off, though, as in the video.

Reminds me of what the townie cops up in motherfahkin' Reveah Beach
Massachusetts would do back in the day when some townie kid outran them
on his fahkin' shrieking crotch-rocket.

Now, young punks love to brag and the cops had fahkin' informahs in all
the townie bars and hang-outs. Word would get back on who the local kid
was and where he and his crotch-rocket biker buddies lived, usually a
number of them in the same general area.

Few weeks would pass and the episode would be generally forgotten by the
kiddos. And then one night at 2 AM the police would roll in to the kid's
neighborhood and absolutely smash the fahkin' shit out of every Japanese
motorcycle they could find parked on the street. Just wail on them with
sledgehammers and trash them.

Except the one bragger-kid who outran them they wouldn't touch his. Let
his buddies with the wrecked bikes take care of him they'll know what to do.

Firefighters gotta check the car for hot-spots with an axe afterwards!.

Many hotspots are known to arise just about anywhere after a fire in one
of these high-cost supercar-deals, front, back, in the tires, in the
glass, dashboard or side mirrors really just about anywhere <whack whack
