Wow, that was a bad crash. I hope the kid lived (wasn't able to open the first link from behind corporate firewall).
True, but as long as the two kids survived. The comments on that first link are too much. People are saying "He probably wished he died after what he did to his Dad's car!" I mean, it's only an F430. It can be replaced. Werent there like 78000 of them made
Yeah - but it only takes 9 months to replace the kid. The waiting list on the F430 replacement is a whole lot longer.
I have two young daughters. God willing I won't ever have to experience them crashing any car, especially my Ferrari. However, accidents (fender benders) happen and that is what insurance is for. From the looks of the 430 in question, it was crashed at a very high rate of speed and if he were my son he'd be walking until he had the means to get his own car and insurance.
If the father gave a teenage boy the keys to the Ferrari, the father doesn't deserve to own the car. What was he thinking???? That is pure stupidity, letting an underage male drive your bright red Ferrari. Dumb and Dumber as far as I'm concerned. Apple didn't fall to far from the tree, as I see it. Both are morons. Maybe the father wanted to get rid of the kid? Art
If I had a son, I'd only let him drive when I was in the car. Quite stupid though. My sisters friend got caught going 260Kmph with a brand new Mercedes that was his dad's. Never crashed though.
Wow he was going 90 mph through a residential street! BIG mistake if i had this car i would respect the cars power and not foolishly play around with it!
The curbs are high in that area of town. Sounds like he could have used some driving lessons... -Peter www.peterkrause.net
