    A parking brake on a Ferrari that actually holds the car? BAWAHAHAHA
    Oh stop it....too funny


    and for those who don't know....you NEVER haul a car in gear.
    I'm serious. Thats what the tie straps are for.
    Do a search on the BB that was being hauled, in gear, and the trailer got hit. Tranny? Gone.

    I also seem to recall someone buying a Testarossa just about the time I subscribed that was in a trailor and the trailor got hit, the transmission was gone in that one too because the owner (new owner?) put it in gear while it was in the trailor. I remember it was a big deal because I think it was his first Ferrari and it was snowing and he just knew he shouldnt have been driving that trailor but he did anyway. I seem to recall that it was almost right after he picked up the car too, like when he was first turning onto the interstate.

    Mental notes to self
    1) never leave a Ferrari in gear when being transported, use tie-downs
    2) never trust the parking brake
    3) ALWAYS use a trustworthy car transportation
    4) ALWAYS have insurance :)

    Doesn't look like enough damage for that much of a fall.

    so do you leave the Ferrari in park and not in gear when it is on the tie downs?
