Ferrari Crash today at Cars & Coffee (Katie's Coffee House)
 

This Ferrari 458 Was Obliterated After A Crash In Virginia

Obliterated is a good word for it.

Ouch!

Sucks...

Damn, looks like someone said the driver is ok

Depends, if he was being an asshat, it doesn't suck at all.

Hope nobody was killed.

Damn man, that really sucks.

In for story

My headlight damage doesn't seem so bad now.

I know right... :facepalm:

I saw this 458 leaving Katie's that morning. Knew it was the same car/guy when I saw him standing next to his crumpled Ferrari on 495.

There's a lot of speculation right now, but witnesses say he tried to slingshot around a slower car, got the car loose (maybe all driver aids were turned off? :confused: ) and planted it into the barrier.

495, must be a Prius to blame.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but that's hilarious :icon18:

Damn hybrids always clogging up the fast lane... :shakes head:

Are they sure it was a Ferrari when it was all f up like that?

Someone posted a link that said the guy driving the ferrari and his son were killed...is that not the case?

Ouch.

Blades -
Kevin at D&V says that you can only do so much with headlight lenses but that they HAVE buffed out stuff like this before so he had me send him pictures. Waiting to see what he says.

A commenter on the jalopnik story took a phone camera pic of the accident and said he thought it was the owner of the Ferrari next to the wreck. Maybe --- who knows?

Cool let me know what he says. Should I send you pics of mine so you can send them to him too?

nah it's pretty much all the same. Let me see what he comes back with.

There's really nothing definitive about the guy and his son being killed. Everything else I've seen and read say that the driver was outside talking to the VA State Troopers on the side of the road? :confused:

Some good lulz from here:


Driver flips Ferrari 458 Italia on 495 Near McLean


Just one post from the article/blog I found amusing:

"I saw the same car recently in the new Merrifield town center, the driver was very young, early 20's and an Arab. He was strolling around with his GF, he had his hat on backwards (douche)."

Oh...and it doesn't take long to get posted on Youtube.....

This RealMCR12 guy is always the first in this area to post car stuff... both good AND bad

^^^ Yeah, no kidding!

Found that last night and got kinda turned off by all of the 14 year old / redneck douchebaggy "hilarious online racism" shi-t

I can't release his name but he is Asian

But, is he a douche?

duno either, but the car is paid off

Well, he drove a Ferrari, so there's checkbox #1 on the list...

Well people who can't afford Zs probably say the same thing about us/you so...

even moreso for people with Nismo's, as they are more expensive

Nah. They see a Z as a Z. The snobbery between trims only exists among people who already own them.

Edit: I'll try to be a bit nicer.

Ferrari's cost a lot more than Z's... nearly 10X as much. That's a times ten multiplier on douchiness.

Nismo Z's are really cool cars, as are all Z's. But they're not costing as much as a house.

The people who buy ferraris, lambos and bugattis have the means to buy them and they're not a big "thing". They're just a cool car they can afford (to them).

I don't think that automatically makes them douchebags.

Ok well maybe not veyrons but the other cars still apply.

Ok, it was a joke.

But I guess that sense of humor isn't something I should expect from everyone. :shakes head:

Atleast we hope they're not douchey. I met an older gentleman down at the beach that had a yellow lambo, he was really nice.

No, I know some Veyron owners who are just really cool guys that are just doing well for themselves. Stop profiling.
