Ferrari Crash Malibu - Graphic Photos

Wow. Look how well intact the passenger cage is....does not look like the pillars/roofline collapsed at all, but surely there is damage there. What a moron tow truck driver slogging it upside down. Idiot. Hope these guys are ok. Doubt they care much about the damage at this point, but hoping to drive again soon. That ain't gonna buff out.

I pretty sure I saw that car leaving the toy event just as I rolled up...I rolled in just after 11ish so it was around the same time. I remember say it myself..."thats a nice color" Hope they were alright.

Glad the occupants are ok...hope they make a full recovery.
If that was a CGT, all the regular screamers would be on here in a flash preaching the virtues of psm, crying for driver education etc etc etc...
enjoy the silence.....

The tow truck driver did the owner a favor. If the insurance tried to repair it, I'm sure he wouldn't want it back. Now that the tow truck driver has finished it off, the owner will get full retail market value (golf clap for the tow truck driver). Hopefully the passengers are ok.

Glad this guy didnt hurt or hit anyone else. That's why I go to the track. At least there everyone knows, understands, and accepts the risks.
I have patients like this driver who dont do so well flown in every weekend. They end up making good organ donors, unfortunately they also kill or mame alot of innocent people who have not "signed a track waver".
Lesson to all the "spirited cayon drivers" with high performance cars who can't drive their way out of a paper bag, if they want to kill themselves, so be it for natural selection, when they kill your wife and kids coming home from a soccer match well then I guess people wouldn't be so worried about how this guys car got towed.

How can one be fully sure no one w/in the vehicle was hurt. Maybe initially they appear ok but down the road signs can develop. Passenger has complained of back pain. We know where that can go.
Very good points about donors.
As a legal point of reference, waivers are no longer effective against "gross negligence" and the CA Supreme Court just very recently decided this issue from an Appellate Court's finding. That's why the Porsche suit at the Calif speedway was very recently quickly settled. [/quote]
Another great point.
Some time ago I realized that when I'd return to the A/P from flying my twin Cessna at 200+ MPH, I had a tendency to drive a bit more spirited than was safe.
As I am now very aware of this situation, I no longer drive like that.
200+ MPH in the air is different than high speed road driving.
