A German taking a Ferrari for a test drive wrapped it round a lamppost when he tried to impress a pretty woman.
Alphons Edberg, 33, from Hamburg, was driving a borrowed Ferrari 360 Modena which he was considering buying.
But, according to police, the inexperienced driver lost control after putting his foot down to impress a pretty woman he had spotted.
He crashed the powerful car into a tree, a road sign and a fence before finally wrapping it around a lamppost.
The car was a write off and Edberg is in hospital being treated for head injuries.
Pretty woman then went to lunch with friends, went home, changed, and went back to his job as a chocolate vendor.
Seeing Julia Roberts would probably make me sick and lose control, too...
Yeah, especially if he made his hand look like a gun & made those clicky-noises. Drives me wild!!!
I once knew a VERY attractive and statuesque woman, who remarked to us one day that people on the roads were crazy, and drivers were doing too many things like talking on cell phones, etc.
When we asked her to elaborate, she mentioned she sees cars running into the backs of other cars all the time when she is downtown.
The guys all looked at each other with a "uh huh" expression...she had no idea, which was funny, and kind of nice at the same time. She was no airhead, just never made the connection.
I was walking around the Temple Campus this weekend with my four year old son when he unveiled his new "wolf whistle" to an attractive Japanese woman. Learned at the foot of the master he did, gonna be very popular with the ladies...

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Idiot. He speeds up, so that he's moving away faster.
Wisdom says to stop and ask her directions. After all, it's a Ferrari, she knows it's fast.
Bush's fault!
LOL! Spoken in best Yoda voice, of course...:)
I will never forget my first day at high school. While staring over my shoulder at a gorgeous blue-eyed blonde, I walked straight into a phone pole and almost knocked myself unconcious.
Oddly enough, I later found out this particular young lady was in "special education."
So...he got her # then.

There's an instance in case law from the 40's where a man defended himself this way after back-ending someone. He actually had the woman come into court and walk in front of the judge. The judge ruled in his favor.
I can't come up with the citation right off the top of my head, but a professor in one of my law courses had us laughing hard with this true story way back when.
This is what he wrecked..........
