Romario lends his F430 to friend who crashes it......

this seems to be a common story of late...owner lends friend or son his car and kaboom, no more exotic!!!

 

Looks pretty beat up

 

I hate it when that happens!

 

It will buff right out.


Joking aside, it seems easily repairable damage. No?!

 

Accident repairs on a ferrari are never easy and extremely costly.

 

Who would have though?

 

...........extremely sad.

 

I don't even give people rides in my car (well, I meant except sexy women) - if you want to drive a Ferrari, earn it. That's my view.

Wow, I'm just the opposite. I LOVE to give rides, especially to people who have never been in a Ferrari before. Their delight, smiles and gleefulness...priceless!

 

Expensive is a relative term. It's probably less of a pain for him to get a new Ferrari than buying a loaf of bread is to you.

 

You sound like *such* a cool guy.

 

Did you have a bad experience? I don't see giving rides as a problem for someone I know as long as they respect the car as much as I do. Letting people drive it is another story. I have let people borrow things before (much cheaper) and have them break or crash it. They either do not respect the property since they do not own it or do not have the skill to properly operate it. My 0.02 cents.

 

WOW, she was driven hard and put back wet, not how i like my girls returned but he probably has a couple of spares.

 

Pity....................

To forget this sucked experience, I guess Romario might need to replace this with a new one!.

 

And we all thank you for being generous... not everyone is as nice as you. Some even stuck up not to name names.

 

I didn't understand the difference between "driving my" vs "riding in my" until I bought a ferrari......I know now.

 

Wow Ray,
You really sound like a person I wouldn't want to hang out with.
Its just a car... I cant wait to give people that have never been in a Ferrari a ride...and even let them drive it.
Share the experience and see how it feels...
Humans are more important then that piece of metal sitting pretty in your garage!
Think about it buddy..

 

I LET EVERYBODY drive my F430's including strangers I just met.. Do it all the time actually, probably 4-5 times a week, someone drives my car. There is no way to explain a F430 other than to let them see for themselves.

 

drive: no. likely not covered by insurance.
ride: absolutely. gives me just as big of a smile as them.

 

all drivers are covered to drive your car as long as your car is insured in the US. Nice excuse though

 

I love taking people for rides. I just make sure they wear depends to protect my seats.

 

I love taking people for rides but drive...? That's something I save for a select few. The issue is not insurance, why would I want to put myself in a position to have a damaged car or a friend/stranger in a position where they feel like crap for crashing someone's Ferrari? It's an easy car to wreck if you get too brave or aren't used to a gas pedal that responds like a hair trigger.

 

I did similar damage on the same side. It is mainly cosmetic with scraping the side, still cost 40k euro to fix which is rediculous. Any other car would have been about 10k euro. Ferrari dealers really cream it on insurance jobs.
