We’re not sure what it was about this parked Italia that set off this horse, but it sure did make it mad. The car was stopped on a street in Shanghai when a local horse riding club passed by. Apparently the Ferrari driver blew his horn as they were walking by. Why he thought […] More »
The corkscrew at Laguna Seca is a notoriously tricky bit of track, and during this year’s Ferrari Challenge, driver Ryan Ockey had a particularly bad time with it. It’s unclear what happened exactly, but given that it barely looks like the car slows at all, I’d like there was some kind of brake problem—he came […] More »

So while it might seem silly to critique a video showing one of the world’s finest sports cars being flogged like a winter beater, I’m going to do it anyway.
Hollywood’s Rent-in-Style rents out six-figure exotic cars, fulfilling automotive dreams for anyone with enough coin. So when owner Eric Blumberg lent out a 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia at a rate of $2,000 per day, then noticed via GPS tracking that the car hadn’t moved in days, he knew something was up.
