You have to read this one to believe it...

According to a story in today's Kansas City Star newspaper, a man was watching the Super Bowl when he thought that he smelled smoke.

Realizing that it was not coming from a stogie or his back yard BBQ, the guy did the only intellegent thing and called the local fire department.

However, this is when things seem to have gotten interesting.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, he isnsited that they ignore the fire...and save his prized Ferrari 348. Only after the car was safely sitting in the driveway did he suggest that they try and put out his burning home

According to the newspaper article (which you can read here along with a great photo), the fire caused extensive damage to the home with the damage estimate coming in at a cool $80,000. But it is all OK, since his car wasn't damaged.

Now, call me old fashioned, but I have to assume that this guy's wife was not home at the time of the blaze...or the home might have received less damage and the car might have been a total loss!

I guess it is a good thing that the car made it out of the fire without damage, because I have a feeling that this guy will be sleeping in it for a long time.

If the tables were turned, which would you save, your cars, or your home?

I know how my wife would answer for me!
