The actor slammed his 812 Superfast into a Kia Niro over the weekend.

Being mistaken for a celebrity is not unheard of in LA, especially when you and that celebrity both have exquisitely ripped bods. Case in point, I’ve been mistaken for Michael B. Jordan a number of times and, usually, I’d gladly trade places with the actor, but maybe not on Sunday when he crashed a nearly half a million dollar Ferrari into a parked car.
TMZ reports that Jordan was in Hollywood around 11:30 on December 3. He was driving his blue $429,000 Ferrari 812 Superfast until he slammed into a Kia Niro that was parked alongside the street. Luckily, according to TMZ, other than the Kia and Ferrari, there were no other injuries or damage.
The LAPD responded and found no signs of Michael being impaired by drugs or alcohol. Cops did not perform a field sobriety test.
There were no injuries or damage to property, other than the Kia and the Ferrari. LAPD told Michael to fill out a police report online.
Sources who were on the scene told TMZ that the LAPD questioned Jordan, wanting to know just what the hell would cause him to crash into a parked car. Jordan offered no explanation though. TMZ even reached out to Jordan’s team for a comment on the situation and got nothing. Jordan stayed on the scene, with his back turned the whole time. I’m sure he was pissed or embarrassed.
Sadly though it looks as both the 812 and the Niro are totaled.
That knuckle connection looks weak.
One of the biggest laughs I had two years ago was at my local gas station. There was a guy of middle eastern descent at the pump next to mine in a Maserati with his hood up trying to figure out why it wouldn’t start.......LOL!
The KIA Niro, depending on model, can be a Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or a full Electric....................
Yes sir, we’re going to have to replace that universal joint too. That’ll add $40K right there.
Yeah I get mistaken for Michael Jordan all the time.
Since I was a kid, I’ve noticed that blacks have a tendency to think that expensive cars are the pinnacle of attainment. I grew up in a fairly rich neighborhood, but it would be the poor blacks who I would see driving flashy, expensive cars. Seemed ludicrous to me.
Part of black dysfunctional culture I guess.
Weak?
Hell, it looks nonexistent!.........
“Michael B. Jordan Tears Apart His Ferrari In Crash With Parked Kia”
Correcting the horrible use of the English language in the title: Michael B. Jordan’s Ferrari Torn Apart In Crash With Parked Kia
There is no way Jordan “tore apart his Ferrari”.
He was the boxer in the Creed movies, the son of Apollo Creed who was trained by Rocky Balboa.
He did some normal roles beforehand that were pretty decent before he became an "action movie" actor.

Power is nothing without control.
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin’ the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top...
Everybody's got a thing...
but some don't know how to handle it.
Well he did a dang good reasonable facsimile.............
I believe you’re thinking of Michael Jordan, the former Chicago Bulls player.
Michael B. Jordan is a very successful, well paid actor. At his income level, driving a Ferrari is like a middle-class yahoo like me driving a Chevy.
What the hell does his skin color have to with anything in this story?!?
Most recently he has played in the Creed movies as the Adonis Creed, son of Apollo Creed (Rocky) and as Tom Clancy’s John Clark in Without Remorse.
Title character in the acclaimed Creed film series that is part of the Rocky cinematic universe and is produced by Stallone with him playing Rocky in it, too.
A little Bondo and some JB Weld and he’s good to go.
On the other hand I have been told by strangers that I look like John Candy and John Madden. It was meant as a compliment, but . . .
