Don't say I didn't warn you 'cos I did! This is a tragic, nay heartbreaking true story

Dad, I'm Borrowing the Car... $1,000,000 FERRARI

Ferrari hits a power pylon at 200 mph.....








The driver only had some bruising (seat belt)
and 2 small cuts.
-car loss $1 Million bucks!
-waiting list for a new one - 2 years;
-when can I drive Dad's car again - nuclear 1/2 life;
-when will I not be grounded & see the light of day - same day the polar ice caps melt
- still alive .... Priceless

Car only had 9 miles on it! One mile of it was during the wreck.

My only question is "How did this f***ing idiot slip into the gene pool?"

I guess the break away zones worked ....... and the passenger pod.

He can be thankful that car saved his life because I now get the pleasure of beating him to death with one of his own arms after I rip it off. The whole family should be banned from owning anything more powerful than a ride on mower.

Its safe to say F1 saved those guys life. Could you imagine having to stand infront of those guys and thanking them for the constant development in safety?
Yes thank you Mr Brawn for saving my life while I wreck one of your million dollar babies in a test of safety.

Who in the world will drive a car that only did 9 miles up to a speed of 200 miles an hour (320 Km/h) on a public road? He must be insane. Luckily he crashed, wrecking the car and thank god taking no other lives. People like that should be in prison for a very long time.

Crash

Ah yes, the Malibu crash - there's more to that than meets the eye: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me ... -headlines

TSC.

Once the police let the parts go, there would be plenty of Ferrari anoraks with poised mouse fingers just waiting for ebay. Mind you, box it up and send it back to Ferrari..........you never know.

Interestingly cars like that are never really totaled.  The value of the car often exceeds the cost to produce a replica from scratch.  IIRC others who have done similar things to Enzos (seems a lot of people have ripped 'em in two in crashes) just send the box of parts back to Ferrari to be re-built.  It's cheaper than buying a new one!

I once saw an interview with someone racing a vintage Ferrari.  The car was valued at $13M (USD).  The interviewer asked if he was nervous racing such a valuable car.  His reply "Nah, it's insured and there's no way I could do $13M worth of damage to it".  In other words, the number plate on the car was worth WAY more than the parts that made it up.

One fugly car less in the world.

Fair enough, but there can be beautiful and fast cars, too...

I remember squeezing a 3 litre straight 6 Porsche engine into my friends Beetle. That thing was scary in a straight line but couldn't corner for toffee
