Buried in a Ferrari

This morning when I got out of class, I turned on the History Channel and they were talking about caskets. I happened to leave the room so I didnt hear what her name was, but some lady was buried in her Ferrari! How freaking awesome is that?!?! When I heard that, I ran into the living room and they had a huge box with the car and her in it. Sounds like a good idea to me, what a better way to go out than be buried in your Ferrari!

Hi i found some info in relation to the story this is a section of an article that has been written about this lady.

"
the story of Mrs. Dorothy Stevens. «The first handful of earth dropped like a shadow on the sharply inclined rear window of the 365 Gtb/4 Daytona. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The car was perfectly clean and shiny and the dark spot detracted from the beauty of that sight. Then a hail of clods fell, spoiling forever the design of the body by Pininfarina. The two servants shoveled hard and soon all of the splendid red paint was buried in earth. Only a little space on the side window remained to be covered, a space that still revealed the flashy interior lined in white leather personally chosen by the owner. Meanwhile the engine continued to run, rumbling as it idled, its 12 cylinders moving up and down for the last time. Incredible: although the car was by now almost completely submerged in earth, the 12V continued to live, as if it wanted to cry out for pity to the whole world, as if it wanted to get out of that trench in which it had been buried. But after a while the engine’s air intakes were entirely obstructed and silence reigned supreme».
And so the last desire of Mrs. Dorothy Stevens was fulfilled – that of being buried in her Ferrari Daytona with the engine still running. In her will, Mrs. Stevens had written, “I leave my mansion in Miami to the charity institute for orphans, the rest of my estate and an income of 20,000 dollars a month to my son Erik. On condition that he fulfils my last wish: that of being buried in my Ferrari 365 Gtb/4 Daytona with the engine still running and the headlights on, so I can have the illusion of running for the last time in my sports car and lighting up the shadows I am going to meet. And maybe in the end, with this Gt I will really be able to run through the roads of heaven.”»2. "
