Only had his new Ferrari 430 Scuderia for an hour and then wrote it off

I would say "What an idiot!" but if I had a car like that I'd probably be tempted to go fast too.

This sort of thing crops up quite regularly. It is my opinion as a grouchy old fart that in order to take one of these supercars on the public roads, drivers should have to take some form of familiarization course before they can even get insured.

Update on this accident from the South Yorkshire Police: 'Following on from speaking to a number of witnesses officers do not believe excess speed was a contributory factor in this collision. All the collision investigators on Facebook, take note

At one time I owned a corvette which like the Ferrari had big wide tires with lots of power behind them in a very light body. I had to be very careful in the rain. Once making a simple right turn in a downpour it fishtailed on me and went back end first over the center divider, fortunately for me there were no cars there and my car suffered only minor damage.

It's a good thing your dog wasn't driving, Joe.

Fortunately for us the Vette is long gone but I am waiting for him to start barking at the Mustang.

Joe, I'd have guessed the pup would be inclined to have a Peugeot
