    There's video of it happening on YouTube. Search Palm Beach Ferrari. It looked like a 360 spider. He drove into the water as though he was in an Amphicar.

    OK, so just guessing here. Is the intent of discussing the Ferrari in the water incident with a link to that vapid real estate agent and her new husband meant to imply that you think Ant will be restoring the car?

    That's cool. He just made the rest of the Ferraris more rare.

    It looks like an older 360 what a jerk. What this does this makes insurance for the rest of us cost more!

    That's a shame, it's the best color for the 360.

    What was that part about a policeman speaking with the driver immediately prior to the incident? He is standing there speaking with the driver and then the driver backs up and goes into forward launch mode. Wonder if there was an issue with the driver having a medical emergency?

    My theory is it's probably some local high-profile person that was wasted and passed out at the wheel....cops came up on em... but who knows.... but there's been zero information and zero explanation!

    My guess is a guy going thru a divorce that was going to lose it to the wife.

    (Actually my first guess was a wife who found her husband cheating and sunk his car in revenge - but the reporting says it was a dude)

    That car is worthless. It didn't just get flooded it was submerged in saltwater presumably at least a day or more. And again, it didn't just get flooded from rising flood water the engine was running presumably Full Throttle when it hit the drink. The only thing salvageable would be the sheet metal ,wheels and maybe the gearbox. I'm going to call the Palm Beach County Sheriff's records department on Monday see if I can get any more info on what the heck happened. Curiosity is killing me! Should be a matter of public record

    From the media : "this started as a medical call"

    So it may be a mental health issue and possible attempted suicide. So give him a break for now ...........

    Great rescue by the people in the boat. 30 feet down, closed windows probably. Not necessarily easy.
