Hi Dad? I crashed your Ferrari

From the "Don't want to be that kid" files... Some poor dude in Melboure Australia had to make what could only be described as one nightmarish call to his father. Yup, he wrecked the Ferrari. To make things even better, it wasn't any old run of the mill Ferrari either. It was a F360 Challenge Stradale. One of only 16 that made it to Austraila / New Zeland and ran near a 1/2 million dollars price tag. Oops. Thankfully he wasn't hurt in the crash but one can only assume the phone call afterwards was quite painful. As if a news article on the event wasn't enough embaressment for the son- here's a picture of him making the call to dear old dad.
