    I luckily escaped with only a few bruises and a sore jaw from the airbag.

    Hurts every time I see that pic. Was the car too badly damaged to take on as a salvage? We coulda’ fixed it up and tracked it…….

    Insurance totaled it and then auctioned it on Copart.

    Ugh - that’s heartbreaking to see. Glad you’re ok!

    That said, life is far too short to worry about potential pitfalls. Get out there and enjoy that Speciale!

    Worth more dead than alive, lol…..

    But the thought crossed my mind of buying a fixable salvage Ferrari for track use.

    Thanks!
    But…it has definitely shaped my view of taking the Speciale out for a drive unfortunately.

    Nice, very nice. Not to hijack the post but it deserved a comment. I'd like to line up against you in my SD 455 Trans Am. I too stay away from any traffic in all my cars, too many texts and distracted people going 90 in a KIA.

    So as a first post here’s my 2014 Speciale owned since October 2021.
    Thanks to the Forum already got a myriad of good ideas and cool information. Happy driving and greetings from Switzerland!
