    Why would that be? I doubt he will get a big payout check. On video purposely driving in to the water....I may be a naive midwesterner, but hardly and accident IMO.

    Your concern for the wellbeing of the metal, glass, rubber and plastic is heartwarming.

    I love how the water and the sea bed in Miami are so blue and clean.... here in the uk, the car would be half sunk in mud and ****, and surrounded by shopping trolleys and various other trash thrown into the water over the years. Some of our waters are a ****ing disgrace

    You are right the water in this case is pretty clear which actually surprised me because it is so close to shore. I love the Caribbean because of the diving and clarity of the water. I live in DC and visibility in the Potomac river rivals the Thames because the bottom is mud, full of debris and visibility is zero.

    That'a now a parts car or a race car project. It might be worthy of a LS swap, who knows.

    Why are the date stamps on these photos so grossly off?

    Yeah, the rest of the world enjoys some great waters, the UK, not so much...... when the tide goes out in a resort pretty close to me, you get a half mile of pure sinking mud (and stinking mud)

    This incident is so bizarre and of course fellow local Ferrari enthusiasts are following it very closely down here in Florida as it was in our backyard! So a friend contacted the Palm Beach Police Department and although it is a matter of public record because our tax dollars paid for the police to go out there, they will not release any information until 60 days after... it's their policy. Strangely, they did release the driver's name. It was suggested by some that maybe this was some sort of a suicide attempt or mental health issue but that is very doubtful the video speaks for itself. Police officer clearly lets the driver get back in the vehicle and steps out of his way with no attempt to restrain the driver whatsoever it is so bizarre. I guess over the next days and weeks we will find out more.

    This is my favorite part:

    When the officer asked Mucciaccio why he drove into the inlet, he stated, "Jesus told me to drive through a small gate and into a 6-foot window." He also said, "Jesus made me the smartest man on earth and it's so hard to have this much responsibility," and, "Money is going to be irrelevant in two days, remember to smile."

    He also stated that the reason he drove into the inlet is because the officer on the dock was Egyptian and he did not believe in Jesus.

    Investigation also revealed that the license plate that was attached to the Ferrari belonged to Mucciaccio's Ford Mustang.


    Hopefully they did a tox screen on this guy. If Jesus did make him the smartest man on earth he would have put the Mustang into the water instead of the Ferrari.

    Well, I just saw this story and thought of my Fchat days.... It's been awhile, so I thought I'd see what you all were saying about this. I figured there would be a thread. Surprised no one seems to know the guy. James Mucciaccio, Jr is the guy.

    Perhaps this is him? http://financialservicesinc.ubs.com/team/hershmucciaccio/meetourteam.html ..... If Jesus told him to drive the car into the water, what would he say about your investments?

    Here's another link that shows the vehicle underwater.... Crazy

    He didn't get the memo that only Jesus can drive and walk on water. ;)
