Kid wrecks dad’s Ferrari, has to call dad for ride home

May 6, 2008

Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale

Just sixteen Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales (a special version of the standard 360) were imported to Australia and New Zealand, and now there’s at least one fewer gracing those roads. A (very nice — or perhaps very naive) father allowed his son to borrow his extremely rare Challenge Stradale, who promptly got a little too excited with the right pedal and wrapped the beautiful and expensive sports car around a pole.

As sad as that is, it’s not the best part of the story. No, it actually gets funny. Naturally, anyone who wrecks a Ferrari is going to attract some attention. News crews were apparently there within minutes, and mercilessly filmed the son as he called home to tell his father what had happened. Unfortunately, there’s no video record of what the father did to his son later.

I think I would have just never gone home.

    At least he is o.k. an was not harmed in the crashed, I think for my dad it would be easier to forgive me for recking something that was bought then having to attend my funeral.

    Its common knowledge that kids wreck things. Its a built in feature. Why the hell would you give your kid your ferrari? Thats like throwing away $250,000.

    Why the -bleep- would a kids dad it them drive my Ferrari.
    If my dad were to let me, he would come with me, and probably
    drive it the whole time…which is why I am glad my dad has an R8
