Expensive mistake

Sure, you can buy the car but the skill needed to drive it can't be.......

Usually I would cringe, but in this instance I think thats badass. +10 to that guy for having the guts to actually track the car. It can be fixed, and even though that'll knock off a mil or two, pampering and worrying about its inflated value was never what it was meant for in the first place.

A guy in AZ who owns a $3M Cuda said about driving it..."It's actually quite liberating, you can't total it. It's worth more than the cost of any repair"

I suppose that goes for a Ferrari of this pedigree as well.

Agreed. It's just that the level at which some play on is ridiculous.

Think of it on a relative basis...The beads of sweat when putting for $100K Championship are the smaller than the beads when putting for $10 with only $5 in your pocket.

Replace "putting" with "negotiating a tough corner".

But yeah, some people do have a lot of money.

a lot of those owners hire drivers to drive their vintage cars. that guys body language in the last frame says to me "oh shit oh shit I have to explain this to the owner" especially considering there wasnt much damage.
a filthy rich guy driving his own car would probably more have the attitude "hahah that was a fun ride"

besides, that car is IMO the ugliest of all vintage ferraris. (and I love me some vintage ferraris)
