A beautiful, special Ferrari 458 Speciale minding its own business was horrifyingly mutilated at Katie’s Cars & Coffee in Great Falls, Virginia this morning when a Mercedes 380 SL parallel parked on the face of the $300,000 supercar. Children were watching!
If you head over to the Katie’s Cars & Coffee Facebook page, almost all of the Visitor Posts are of the carnage. In this clip below, you can see the moments just after the wreck happened. Warning: nobody was injured but the damage to the Ferrari and its wailing, crying and painful alarm may be graphic for some viewers.
There were kids in the Mercedes! They’re going to have to live the rest of their lives knowing that the car they once considered a friend mutilated a Ferrari.
The lady driving the 380 SL with the license plate ‘DER BNZ’ somehow missed the bright red supercar likely parked there to avoid this very occurrence. As the great Harley Quin once said in the not-great Suicide Squad, “hope you got insurance.”

Cones around a ‘Vette? What a wuss!
There must be dozens of vehicle models that cost more than almost any Corvette. No cones around Range Rovers? Escalades? Mercedes E350s?
Looks like it made contact and kept on driving. What a moron.
As kids, we referred to it as Glen Congo Confusement Park.
“What ever happened to Glen Echo?”

It’s still there, used for arts/crafts/performance festivals and camps. Was over there last week for my daughter’s Irish Dance camp
You guys were old school there!
About that time my Grandparents on moms side lived in a big stone house he built on 7 acres on Columbia Pike in Annandale. The practically gave that place away in the early 80’s and retired to North eastern Rockingham Co.
My uncle Jimmy was one of the first 5 Fairfax police officers.
When the parents relocated to Fairfax Station in 76/77 I ended up working as a teen about 4 years at Davis’ General Store, Fairfax Hay and Grain.
“When Mistresses Collide”
I bet the children distracted her by requiring a Heimlich maneuver or something.
I require total silence from the Offspring when I’m backing up.
You have demanded orderly behavior from your offspring—kudos!
None of them wants to end up in a ditch or the hospital!
Great Falls Park and the rocks are still there! The community/town of Great Falls is overgrown with McMansions now.
I knew a Madeira alumna who had been there when Jean Harris was in charge. Didn’t get any great stories except that Harris was a strange bird.... not surprising considering what she went on to do. Apparently Tarnower was dropping their affair for a new mistress, and she just snapped.
“Mercedes uses unique parking technique to inflict Catastrophic Damage to a Ferrari 458 speciale...”
When’s the execution?
It probably was the Kids driving her to distraction.
Considering the age and condition of the Car, I blame the kids. Or more precisely their Trainers / Wranglers / Parents.
