While I am “crushed” over the loss of these machines...if this gentleman bought the cars, they are his to do with as he pleases....as long as he harms no one in the process.

This is a freaking crime against humanity. This guy needs to have his license taken away from him. I have no idea how he wrecked a Model T. It has like a lawnmower engine with not a lot of power.

Judjing from the photos, I’d say he has a problem driving in the forward direction. Perhaps his next car should only have reverse.

The Gallardo would have kicked the F355’s arse.

This person appears to have a problem with depth perception.

Here ya go....

He was racing a Lamborghini Gallardo when he rear-ended a Ford F-350 Superduty in this Ferrari F355

I want to know how the people that were in the Ford 350 are doing. While I am also into exotic cars, I am more concerned about those that are in his path.

I’d say he doesn’t know how to drive a stick...and too proud to admit it.

Agreed, and he's 73...so when he's too old to drive and wreck classic iron perhaps he could turn his attention to the art world...just think what your Van Gogh or Rembrandt in the living room would be worth if he started wrecking the old masters instead. He's a rare automotive asset appreciation genius!

And to think, this is the kind of fellow Obama wants to tax to death. How will he afford to drive, then?

Of course the Lamborghini Gallardo would go faster. The Ferrari 355 was built between 1994 and 1999, with a 3.5 liter V8 engine. The Gallardo first went into production in 2003 and has a 5 liter V10 (newer models sport a 5.2 V10)

To compare the cars is apples and oranges. Still, if I had a choice between the two, I’d take a F355 over a Gallardo, or any Lambo any day. Aside from the 360 Challenge Stradale and the recently unveiled 458 Italia, no other Ferrari is as stunning as the F355.

Which is a condition I would gladly suffer...

You could be right, he may not be able to properly work the clutch when stopping...
