    Absolutely. WOW. Truly glad you were able to walk away from this.

    Considering how the car looks, the safety of it shows through.

    Glad to hear you are okay and good thing you will be getting a new one soon. Did the truck stop at least? I have seen this happen and them just keep on trucking, no pun intended.

    That is a life experience. Glad it has a happy ending. Now you can remove "walk away from a nasty accident" from your bucket list.

    ....and in 30 years we will hear all of the moans and groans about the evils of the 599's that have been lost to the production of replicas and fakes and how it should be restored to being a 599....;)

    Posters on Jalopnik are such a bunch of jealous 'hats. Every one of them would jump into an FCar if they had the chance. Every one. The fact that the owner will be in another 599 in less than a week is the best "$%*k you" to the jealous little man syndrome.

    My daughter and husband were hit by a semi on the way to LAX airport, It was dark. He pulled over on her . No injuries, thank God. The truck never stopped. I asked her if he knew he hit her! She said he knew, the car spun with 360s all over 6 lanes of traffic in front of him. Then a man in a brand new Audi couldn,t stop and T boned her car. Her Toyota was totaled. many witnessed the accident and called 911 but they never caught the truck.

    No because this would be a period modification not the destruction of a 30+ year old car, ie. you can still buy brand new 599's so they are replaceable. If you could purchase a brand new 250 GT 2+2 nobody would complain about the replicas.
