Boxster/Cayman are not "known" for catching fire but a few have burned down. Most often an overheated PS pump fails and dumps flammable fluid on the hot exhaust manifold.

I used to mount my FE with a fabricated adapter plate to the front of the passenger seat. This was convenient for me but sometimes passengers would catch the quick release with their pants and we would have a loose cannon rolling around the footwell. I now mount it to the front of my seat and it is a little less convenient but I am aware of it and never hit the quick release.
