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 didnt see nothing as he put the truck in reverse, crushing the hood

Absolutely...As American standard of living and our streets, and infrastructure decline, ya can’t beat an older pickup trucks preferably 4x4 types or older jeep type vehicle...
Looking at the condition of American roads...The low sleek little sports cars are getting chewed up by the very roads they drive on.
natch!
That is a Ferrari.
Not parked on any ‘rat City street I see.
Now that’s a car that would turn heads. And it is, as you say, a bargain...
It’ll do 0 to 100mph really fast. At least when it doesn’t have a truck sitting on its hood.
Low volume (with kool stylin') --> low investment/ $ parts --> minimal prototype testing, -->
low durability --> scarce parts, -->joining a tribe.
The physics of vehicles drives Mass.
That is sweet, and the price is not too bad, relatively speaking (though I would never pay that much)
So would I, if the Tesla came with an engine.
That truck thing is always a problem...
Morgans are great horses. :-)
I just googled the Audi R8: fabulous car!
That is one nice car :)
Despite Audi hype, it’s mostly a rebadged Lamborghini Gallardo for tens of thousands of dollars less, and better looking to boot!
The Audi is a poseur car. If you want a German get a Porsche- all the speed, more reliable, and the same Teutonic concept of ‘sexy’.
Call me weird for liking the FF, but I’ve always been an odd ball in my appreciation for sporty wagons. The Ferrari reinvention of AWD for this car is also rather intriguing.
I looked up BOTH on the internet.
To me, they are both beautiful, small, incredibly fast and incredibly USELESS cars. Where the HELL could I drive either car the way they deserve to be driven? And why would I be such an idiot at to drive to that fast? Those speeds are for formula one drivers, not for an old lady trying to deal with urban traffic. :o)
Perhaps the government should put speed-limiters on all vehicles, because no one needs to go more than 80 mph?
They are essentially works of art.
Here’s hoping the Ferrari belongs to some limolib celebrity prong from Shlong Island.
