How is a mechanic going to cover the cost of the trashed Ferrari? He'd better have insurance...

Sad. The F40 is one of my top 5 favorite dream cars.

From an era that Ferrari was still cool. I've seen way too many accidents like this. It makes one wonder what happens to ones sporty car after you leave it at the dealership for some work.

I stay at the dealership for stuff like oil changes, but things that take all day or more... yeah...

Whoa! Ferrari is way cool, no matter what era. Look up "cool" in the dictionary and it'll have a picture of a Ferrari. Or a Delorean.

Nope, sorry. After the 80's they lost their luster. At least to me. See F40 - F50, then tell me which was the cooler car.

The Enzo is alright, but I agree; after the 80's, they "lost their luster". I love the 1984 Ferrari GTO.. B.E.A-utiful!

I'll drive a "luster lost" Ferrari to a cheerleader convention, you drive something else and we'll see who takes a cheerleader home...

I think I'd take a DeLorean. I've seen at a show how a DeLorean took the spotlight after the doors opened, and left the Ferrari owners baffled.

In all it is my personal opinion. And if I had the bank, I would not spend it on a current Ferrari, but spend it on a more vintage model.

Besides, cheerleaders are not known for their car knowledge. They just look at which car looks more expensive. Funny how a DeLorean actually gives much more expensive cars a run for their money looks wise. You only get disappointed when you put your foot down and expect world class acceleration.
