Some of us obsess about choosing a Honda or Toyota to drive into the ground. Then there are other people:
How much money would you guess is tied up in this incident?

That's a $250 Ferarri and not sure about the Mertz! Maybe $80?! Neither one was totaled so the fix bill will be low!

The Mercedes is not only 30 years old but is the least desirable engine (380) from that body style. If it had been the good one - 560 SL - that would have been tragic but still not huge $$$. I had a turquoisey 560 SL and it was really fun, still miss it sometimes. Those were just about the last of the Mercedes that still had some manual features such as manual seat adjustments on them before everything became automatic and expensive to fix. The 380s kind of sucked because they didn't have enough power to move that heavy a car, but the 560s were awesome 8 cylinder workhorses that are still reasonable daily drivers.

Son and I were complaining the other day that the natural food store carried the wrong kind of organic ginger ale.

What amazes me in the video clip is that neither the driver or the passenger seemed to register something was wrong until she couldn't unstick herself from the front the Ferrari. It makes me think that she might habitually run up curbs while parking.
Poor Ferrari owner.
