How many other owners of that model there (if any) do you reckon had greedy thoughts about their now even rarer car going up in value?

over 11 000 examples of the 355 produced, it is the most common Ferrari and I doubt loosing even 1000 would make a price difference.

Ferrari's are awesome. Its the people that own them bring the reputation down. (LMAO, seem to hear that a lot lately about many a topic)

Its not a car's fault, it is ALWAYS the owners fault, same can be said about skyline drivers, and i can assure you there are more cockheads driving around in skylines in australia than there have been Ferrari's made EVER.

And FYI a car will NEVER be impounded for an accident like that, the driver will get a neg drive like any other driver. And it doesn't look like speed was a factor, looks more like the driver pressed the brake and accelerator at the same time after the back end had already started to step out (which could be caused by anything from uneven road surface, leaves on the road dont forget it is autumn, wet/dry patches on the road, oil ect...)

"OK, now its time for my offical statement as the owner of this car:

Coming out of the park, i turned left. After traveling slowly for about 40m, i accelerated and the back end broke traction. I tried to correct and then went for the brakes. The brake and accelerator pedals are so close to together that my foot actually pressed both the brake pedal and accelerator. The car spun and hit the parked cars with great force. I was shaken, but my body did not hit anything inside the car.

I had the car taken back to its storage home, and will be taken to the panel shop in the morning for repair.

Thank god no one was hurt."

Don't think it was Seb Buemi's fault when his front suspension collapsed under braking at 200mph at Shanghai... ... it could be the mechanic's fault :)

But yeah, of course it's the driver's fault 95% of the time for either lack of skill, judgement, and/or not maintaining the car correctly

An earlier poster on that thread said he was there with his wife and child. Hope they came in a separate car? F355 only seats 2. I also shuddered a bit when I read his forum username. Sh*ts me to tears when I see people of my race perpetuating the stereotype.

he should have to take it home, sit in in the driveway and think about what he did.. and then part it out like the rest of us shmucks that "f#%k up" to pay off the loan and have to drive a shitter around.

:( BEST COMMENT HERE! :P

thats why we get comprehensive insurance.... and a skyline in the same situation would have no more than a dent that could be sucked out in 5 minutes.

What was a nice 355. The 355 would be one of the hardest car to keep straight in the wet. when you think you have enough skills to let one lose, it then reminds you that your life and public liability insurance isnt big enough. LOL at the asian driver stereotype comment. I just love Ferrari haters until they find the dollars to get in one.
