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?"

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.

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.

The Porsche 911 Turbo and Porsche 959 leap to mind eh Björn? I mean Bill Gates has a 959 so it has to be a fox!
My favourite car is still the works Group B Audi Quattro Sport S1 Evo that poo'd all over the Pikes Peaks records back in the late 80's/early 90's. She wasn't hot.... she was a napalm enema given by a nurse with REALLY big hands
Still the sexiest car ever IMHO

Actually, it was a Xj220 that crossed my thoughts.
But I agree. The sound of an old, air cooled 911 is pure sex - practically an eargasm.

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
