Story goes something like: Drunk guy doing 75 hits curb, jumps curb, ends up in the garage of a body shop owner (wonder if he gets a discount?).

Oh my, to wreck a beautiful 360, that will set your family back a few generations. stupid people deserve to rot in hell, like this guy.

At least the go-ped is unharmed

 

hho my gosh waht whappend to th08[e nice ferrairi!?

that 8is syuch a ashasme!

 

oh man, i can care less about the drunk guy in the truck, but damn he hit the wrong car..... definitely the WRONG car....

 

I think I'm more surprised about the fact that someone in Arkansas owns a 360 Modena than seeing a drunk hick-driver of an F150 crashing into one.

 

i wonder, can any body shop work on a Ferrari, or does it have to be sent back to Modena for repairs?

 

Poor Ferrari. Minding its own business and a ford comes landing on top of it. I also wonder if the F150 owner has insurance? If he does he soon wont and will probably have a hard time getting new insurance

 

Arkansas is not just a bunch of hicks. Look...one got to be be President...another one is maybe on the way.

Anyhow, the accident............here is a good case, IMO, for a PERMANENTLY revoked license, with the stipulation of a LONG jail term if caught driving later on without one. Some people deserve a second chance...not this one.

( Assuming, of course, that he WAS drunk or stoned and caused the accident through negligence, and that the truck did not crash because of a stuck-open throttle or other defect...if so, that might be Ford's fault. ).

 

Did you also notice something funny on that truck's Arkansas plates?....IHT
...........short for " I HIT ".

 

That modena guy is ****ed because drunk guy's insurance wont cover it damages done are way over the standard limits.

What that modena guy needs to do is find a nice empty lot, gas can, lighter, and rope.......


US laws are simply to forgiving for in this case its damn difficult for the modena guy get out of this one clean not withouth him having to make a claim with his OWN insurance company. The other idiot's insurance might give him the 10-30k limit if his insurance does decide to cover for him. But then the dui moron could file bankruptcy in a way to avoid paying the rest of the tab.

The only other way the Ferrari guy could get it fixed withouth making a claim his own insurance company provided the other guy's limit is at 30k, Is for him to act as his own contractor, he obtains the parts at cost or used, (Very difficult in this case.) He finds the skilled individual for the total labor done in a set price rather then in a hourly rate like most shops, also hard..

EDIT: Guy is a body shop owner? Well at least that takes care of the labor part only cost of parts and paint, IM sure he has access to more places then we would so Im sure hell get out of this one.

 

I agree. With what Ferrari repairs cost nowadays, that car is probably totalled, unless he can somehow prove to the insurance company that it would be difficult or impossible to replace...an arguement that probably would not fly in this case. And to tell the truth, he probably WOULD be better off with a new one than with repairs attempted on one that extensively damaged.

He will probably have to use the insurance check as a down payment on a new one....a common occurance.

 

That's an ugly sight Hate to see such a beautiful car ruined by moron like this

 

Well, lessee...................the Waltons have a little bit of money, so do the Tysons, got one a them Rockiefellers.............i dunno if they give a doddly about cars but we know Charlie Morgan (Acxiom) does...............then, of course, any decent surgical subspecialist could certainly cough it up. We don't have a local dealership, tho.

I haven't run that tag number but I'd bet it's the same fella that used to drive an F40 around Little Rock

'scuse me............I gotta go treat a few patients fer snakebite after I hit da moonshine an stop off in da outhouse (we're kinda uptown here since we got two-holers here in clinic............

 

Ferarri has a few authorized factory body shops in the U.S. (Ferrari dealers i.e. Ferrari of Houston, Shelton Ferrari, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Ferrari-Maserati of Long Island), also a few private shops that specialize in exotic car only repair/restoration (AutoSport Designs, Inc. Huntington Station, NY) where they can do maintenence and body repair, but the parts are all shipped over from Italy.

 

If that was my Ferrari, and it was a clean, unmolested, unrepaired car, I would insist that it be totalled. Why should I get stuck with a bastard, repainted, salveage-titled car just because some drunk idiot decided to park his POS F150 on top of it.

That car is a goner.

I'm with mmarshall- this guy should do some time. What if a person had been in that shop working late? In my opinion, drunk driving laws aren't harsh enough. In my world: first DUI: forfeit your car, 30 days in the slammer, huge fines, no license for two years. Second DUI: 18 month in the clink, $50,000 fine, loss of license permanently. Third offense: Firing squad.
