If you think you had a bad day at the office, check out the misfortune of one delivery truck driver who accidentally backed into a $300,000 Ferrari FF on Columbus Avenue in New York City on Oct. 30. The driver of the Baldor Foods, Inc. truck told bystanders he “didn’t see nothing” as he put the truck in reverse, crushing the hood

Looks like the front end really grips the road but not much clearance for the front tires...

Are parking spots so expensive that they try to park double deck to save money? ;>}

(Calgary apparently has the most expensive city core parking in Canada, second in North America.)

>> What exactly makes that a $300,000 car?

That little yellow shield on the side. You know, the same reason that little green alligator makes a $15 polo shirt worth $100.

Other than that, it’s a Fiat. I wonder if they’ve discovered electricity yet in Italy (or manufacturing with interchangable parts). :-)

IN NYC everybody uses their horn and nobody pays attention.

I didn’t know Ferrari made a mini van. Regardless of the price that thing is fugly.

I lived in Manhattan until I was 30.

The Ferrari driver is obviously an out-of-towner. You never, never. NEVER get into the blind spot of a truck with a lift gate. And on Columbus Avenue, no less.

Well, so it goes. As you say, it’ll buff out. And if not? Fughedaboutit.

What exactly makes that a $300,000 car?

Inflation and too many rich folks trying to "one-up" their neighbors.

FWIW, back in 1971 the Ferrari 275 GBT/4 was $14,700, or so I was told by the owner.

Inflation Calculator

"What cost $14,700 in 1971 would cost $82,200 in 2012."

years ago , my uncle lost a Morgan to a trash truck.

Alfa Romeo 4C, based on a Lamborghini model, for 'only' $53,000.

That would never happen to Crockett and Tubbs. Not in a NY minute.

“How do you go from this tranquility to that violence?
I usually take the Ferrari.”

[CodeToad]

“Apparently $300k doesn’t get you a decent horn.”

ROFL! No kidding!

[trisham]

WOW!

[Disambiguator]

308s are ok, but the 512 Berlinetta Boxer was way cooler.

Okay, let me clarify: I never got off expressway and got out of the car. I stopped plenty of times.
