Yet another excellent advertisement for contraception! If he's as stupid as Corey, we'll see him on the box soon, with a manager, no doubt. Looks like the drought is affecting the gene pool.
Glad it wasn't yours. After having some great times in that car, it would have left a sad taste seeing it like that now
If he took it without permission, no sympathy at all. Kid is a tool. Car can be fixed (and I wonder if it's insured / has a nominated driver policy ?) but it's a massive breach of trust between father/son - that can't be repaired. And it doesn't matter if the car is a 360CS or a $1000 sh*tbox. M
I watched a movie last week called Idiocracy its a SNL type comedy, but it has a very funny premise, about the future of the world and how generations seem to keep getting dumber.
Agree about the breach of trust as that aspect is very important to me. However, do we know that he did in fact take it without consent?
i rarely see anything reported in the paper on tv that is based totally on fact....but you only realise that when you've seen a few reports on things you or friends are involved in. the only thing we know as fact is that a CS was crashed. the rest of the story, who the hell knows!
No, not sure, except what's been on the media, which of course, is always true. I did qualify it with *if*. Personally, I would notice if one of my Ferrari's had gone for an unauthorized drive... aside from the mileage, there'd be the issue of the security camera recordings from the garage and the driveway. M
Its all true what you read and see in the media, after all YOU PP where the driver of a F40 that crashed on Dandenong Rd! Yes it was PP, i read it on the internet, dont deny it, NO "alleged" to it, FACT Anyway, in this case whats the old man going to do?NOTHING, just pay up. The ins. would prob. be null&void due to sons age together with dangerous driving and speeding so the old'man will have to foot the bill.......as we do! Less for the kid in the end! Ciao M
hahaha...yes! one of the cases that proves the point! as they say in the classics, "don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"
his dad maybe should have let him drive it a bit more then he might have known more about the handling of the car how its behaves .but then again the son might be a right tool and then i can see why he wouldnt let him drive .......just shows some plp have no respect for the black horse...............then again could of been cause by some noob wanting to take pics vids of the car and caused the crash .....ive seen plp do stupid things to get shots/clips of supercars
If he took it without ok,then very good chance Police will charge the driver with theft and or if under lease/hp/rent to buy the lender could and would have him charged.
no wonder, how couldnt see where he was going with the bonnet blocking his view http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/melbourne-man-wrecks-fathers-ferrari/2008/05/05/1209839513969.html
just one more lesson to be learnt, don't drive other people's cars, with or without approval of the owner. want to drive, buy your own.
Crash appears to be a single vehicle accident, hitting a pole, in a suburban street. Speed limit is probably no more than 80kmh. The 360Cs has excellent brakes & handling. No matter which way you look at it, you'd have to be a tool to stick it in to a pole under those circumstances. Maybe he was speeding, or showing off, or drag racing, or distracted, or drunk, or on drugs, but the bottom line is the car didn't crash by itself, without him driving it. And that's aside from the issue of weather he took it with permission or not. M
News around the world. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/05/hello-dad-i-totaled-your-ferrari-what-time-is-dinner/?icid=1615984946x1201622284x1200302581 "Somewhere, a father in Melbourne weeps. There were 16 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales imported to Australia and New Zealand. There are now 15. A proud dad gave his son the keys to his so-rare-it's-almost-extinct Ferrari, and his son got a little too frisky with the audacious redhead. She didn't appreciate his advances, he lost control of the situation, and that little redhead introduced him to a pole... at a high rate of speed by the looks of it. And as if that didn't beat all, the kid had to call home. While news crews watched. And filmed. Only to have newspapers and blogs spread the story around the world. No word on what his father said, but it probably rhymed with "Why I oughta @#%$*&%!"
