    From the picture, it looks like the driver of the pick up should be OK.

    However, that goofy guy riding on the back bumper might have been hurt when his head smashed through the rear window of the truck cap, or whatever they call those bed covers.

    Riding in the bed without a seat belt is one thing, but riding on the back bumper seems dangerous to me, unless of course, you're drinking.............. then it shouldn't hurt too much.......... and it could be a lot of fun in good weather.

    Wow! That little Ford Ranger looks like a big rig compared to that Testarossa! Sad to see another Ferrari gone, at least the front licence plate on the ford can be hammered out and straightened good as new.

    Looks like an F car driver screwup. Making a left across oncoming traffic. Wife or GF probably *****ing or blinded by Sun. GTS Bruce

    Could this be a 348? It does look small next to the truck. Either way the insurance co is not going to be kind to this Fcar owner-

    Do you mean could a Testarossa be rebodied into a 348? I guess it could but why?

    I believe he's asking whether or not the car shown in the image might be a 348 and not a Testarossa. The answer, of course, is no. This is clearly an early Testarossa.

    Both models did come in red so I see now how they could be confused. :)

    That sucks:/. Harder hit than it looks like, passenger front tire is shoved into the fender, and the crumpling on the TR is deep. Bad hit for sure.

    Reminds me of the scene from Gone in Sixty seconds... Just a little body work and its good as new!
    But yeah, it'll buff right out!
    Do wonder about the details, looks like the Ferrari is at fault from that angle.

    When I drive I always assume the other driver has the right of way. I don't believe turn signals, I just watch the wheels.

    I always assume everyone driving around me is an incompetent moron, that way I never get disappointed. :)
