Did you say ‘the building was raised’ or ‘the building was razed’?

Direct injection uses extremely high fuel pressure making fuel supply lines critical to safety.

Yep. But when not running the engine itself is not a danger. Something else on the vehicle may be, but not the engine.

BTW, the comment about stationary engines not “running away” ... because ... well, they are stationary.

A paint correction will fix that right up.

Depends on whether you say it or write it. :)

"...Many of the components are not manufactured by Ferrari and are used on lesser vehicles...."

That's how Lamborghini came to be.

Feruccio Lamborghini was heir to a large tractor manufacturing company. When he burned out the clutch on his Ferrari for the second time, he had words with Enzo Ferrari. Enzo told him to get stuffed, so Feruccio went to his factory to see if his tractor mechanics could fix his clutch.

One of them checked their parts catalog and discovered that some of their tractors used the same clutch as Ferrari was using in that particular car. And when his factory workers fixed his Ferrari, that gave him the idea that he could manufacture a whole sports car from scratch.

And that's how the Lamborghini 350 GT was born.
