    I'm not having good luck with Stradales. My friend rolled my second. My first was lost in a wild fire.

    We found a nice third. I think we'll keep it in the garage.

    Better yet, don't buy another great car and get a mundane airplane, but fly it as far away from people as possible, lol...

    Bill...you must be some sort of saint. With everything that has happened to you and the Ferraris in the past 2/3 years.

    Looking forward to the new stradale pictures, and congrats on being so laid back :)

    At least the photo shows a rural area/road where no one had a high chance of being hurt, not like the one the ****** was driving on in the latest video in the 458 section.

    I happy that your both ok.

    Sorry to hear about your luck with Stradales, Bill. Hope you and your friend are OK.

    Is anything off that CS salvageable you think? Both doors seemed to open OK even if it was sitting on its roof. Tough little car.

    Most insurance companies will total any car that has been on its roof, I guess they feel they can't insurance the strength of the car any longer.

    Sorry it happened, not a great experience, but you seem to handle it with class.

    I noticed it had a stripe as well. Factory or after market???

    Painful photo, Bill! Sorry that you've had to go through this. Fortunately, the best "things" in life are not "things"!

    No that is unusual-----------maybe not if you live in the Malibu Foothills.

    I wonder if your "Friend" is still your "Friend"?

    I know the friend got hurt, but i hope he did not get hurt bad---like wheelchair bad.

    That is a strange picture. Everything seems so serene. But the speed and violence that must have lead up to that image...wow.

    Must have been a major boost of adrenalin during the crash.

    There's a famous Churchill quote: "There is nothing as exhilarating in life as being shot at without result."

    Having this sort of accident and escaping without injury, must be similar.
