All it takes is a single loose or broken fuel connection. Used to be quite common with Italian exotics with multiple carburetors and all those fuel connections between them. Hopefully will be far less common on today's cars.

On the positive side those graphite wheel inserts actually held up reasonably well.

There's a four-door F-Type in production now?
