[toobfreak]

In the news, a Brit bought a Ferrari, one of only 499 made, and somehow managed to totally destroy it beyond all recognition less than one hour after purchasing it! Quoted price was $288,000 dollars though the article says $260,000.

Amazingly, the guy not only survived the crash, but walked away with only minor scrapes!

I wonder if it has any trade-in value for a new car? ; ^ )

Why do I get this feeling in the back of my neck this guy is going to sue Ferrari and claim it was defective?!

/----/ Ferrari should sue him for bad publicity and being an asshole. They should offer to replace it with a Kia Sorento.

Not the value, just the price. No car is worth that much.

He would probably wreck that too, You don't get airborne, launched through the air 150 feet for nothing!

We all ought to start calling Ferrari up asking them if their cars are safe to drive. ; ^ )

It was too much car for him to handle. I don't image too many drivers will be turned off by that.


THey might be more careful.

Heck, the car only has 360 horsepower. The car I drive now has 300. In my day of building engines when young, I never drove around with less than 400-450 HP.

I never flew through the air and landed in flames 150 feet off the road, and I was an animal behind the wheel. One of my cars, I only paid $450.00 for! ; ^ ) But it needed a lot of work.
