Ferrari - OOPS!

Saw this on AOL this morning. The story was that the driver was just trying to show off a little bit. Happened in Australia, maybe yesterday. Looks like a big iron pole got "down under" his front boot. The driver doesn't want to get out of his car and I guess for good reason. Slightly embarassing to say the least. The cops hadn't arrived yet but he did draw a crowd immediately and it looks like they are all enjoying the show! I think his whole day was probably ruined.

all these nice cars are usually destroyed due to show-off...funny thing is the bystanders never ask for the show-off to begin with.

They may admire the car as a nice car, but usually don't give a damn about the driver. The real way to show-off is to drive very slowly so everyone can take a long look at the CAR. Take's all.

And of course punching it when passing the crowd.
