Ferrari Smash

Imagine getting a call from your son in the middle of the night with this message, "Dad, I've crashed your limited-edition Ferrari. You know, the one that is valued for about $400,000". OK, maybe not exactly like that but 'Ferrari' and 'smash' are two words that shouldn't be in the same sentence.

Well this happened to a very very very unlucky dad. His precious Ferrari was smashed (to a tree), just have a look at the picture above (right). On the left is the boy who crashed it and probably reporting the incident to his dad.

The Ferrari is a limited edition F360 Challenge Stradale, was imported 4 years ago. Only 16 cars are believed to be imported to Australia and New Zealand.

The cause of the crash is (obviously) speed. Probably the kid wanted to try "getting 80 in first gear" like the radio commercial of Melbourne Airport. But for whatever reason, it was a reckless thing to do.

Let's just hope that the dad pays his insurance.
