I think this son is grounded forever. Note the "Uh, hi, dad?" phone call pic...

Son wrecks dad's prized Ferrari

It's never fun calling dad after crashing his car - but when you've just wrecked his prized Ferrari you can bet you're in for an earful.

A Melbourne man had to make that call on Saturday night after destroying the front end of his father's Italian Stallion in a smash near Rod Laver Arena.

The front of the red sports car, which police said had been speeding, finished wrapped around a pole in the spectacular accident, which took place on Batman Avenue.

The car  is an F360 Challenge Stradale, one of just 16 imported into Australia and New Zealand in 2004, with a price tag  speeding past the $400,000 mark.

It was a very limited production version of the Ferrari F360 that was designed as a track car but could also be used on the road. The standard F360 F1 at the time was $396,000, and the Stradale was more than that and built to order.

Television news crews filmed the apparently unhurt driver of the Ferrari ringing home as the car's male passenger was taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said.

The Nine Network last night reported the luxury car had suffered "extensive front-end damage".

Similar deal here a few years ago. The Albuquerque Journal's owner had a Ferrari. His son totalled it.

A couple of years later same son (and a friend, IIRC) got killed in an ATV accident.

Not quite the same but hey...



There's some site somewhere that has picture after picture of crashed Enzos. Funny stuff.

A year or two back, the police had to crash a Ferrari here. It was going at high speed, perhaps in the wrong lane, so the cops managed to make it crash in a rather spectacular way. The driver was pissed of course, meaning that it wasn't his fault, he feared someone was going to carjack him etc. Moron.

I wonder if his son's name is Cameron?

Where's his Blackhawks jersey?

There was a picture recently posted about a Bugatti Veyron that had been crashed in Britain somewhere . . . that one cost about three of those Ferraris.

Batman Avenue?

That's an awesome street name.

Where's his Blackhawks jersey?

Red Wings, man.  It was a Gordie Howe Red Wings jersey.  Nobody wears a Blackhawks jersey.  Except Blackhawks fans but they don't count.
