    Thought you'd all get a laugh at this...

    This happened at my office this week... pick up truck plowed across the curb into our parking lot and then into our building... if I took my 550 into the office that day(which I nearly did), the truck would have plowed into my 2 week old Ferrari, because I park right there... after waiting so long to get my 550, I would have cried like a little girl... talk about lucky break.

    PS... no one was hurt, including the moron driver who was, uhhhm, medicated (pot, plus something else, I'm sure)

    Wow, you are lucky!

    In the 1980s a military jet crashed into the building my father was working in. We still have the footage from the news on an old VCR tape and he can be seen talking to police in the background. Now that was a mess!

    Wow, lucky indeed! :)

    Normally I like people to drive and enjoy their Ferrari's as much as possible... but I'm glad yours stayed at home that day :D

    This is all probably an innocent mistake because California doesn't post street signs in a language that the majority of the population is familiar with.
