Ferrari totalled - man dead

Just read that a fellow lost control of his Ferrari on CA Route 52 into La Jolla, and killed himself.

There was another fellow last year who lost control of his Ferrari in La Jolla and killed himself.

What is it about Ferrari's and La Jolla?

Here's the article:

That is very very sad -

When I was 20years old I was surely not mature enough to handle a car like that. His poor parents must be torturing themselves.......

996turbo will become famous soon enough
Very sad. I know any car can catch fire on impact, but it seems like F-cars almost always catch on fire in accidents.

Recently two members of the Ferrari chat site were killed as one drove his 360 on the Nurbregring (spelling?)

They were riding together and the car flipped, ignited, killing both passengers. They had met on the chat site and arranged to run the circuit.

Very true, Darren. If I had gotten the '76 930 Turbo I really wanted bad in 1980 when I was in my twenties, I might have easily hurt myself or worse.

I think cars are also a lot faster today than 20 years ago.
