Our call for London rioters to stop setting cars on fire accomplished at least one success — they didn't burn this Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Nope, they just cheerily beat the hell out of it.

Was the cause of the London riots police brutality or bored youth? I'm not sure, but I sure as hell know it wasn't the cars, so please stop torching them. People like cars. Set fire to things English people don't like: traffic cameras, toothbrushes, and Rupert Murdoch.

Note to the anonymous London rioter who set fire to this first generation Mazda Miata in the Borough of Hackney: Don’t. Just don’t.

Violence and looting has raged across London and spread to three other major British cities, as authorities struggle to contain the country's most serious unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s. And yes, that's a double-decker bus on fire.
