He looks like an idiot. Like he borrowed his wife's sunglasses ... And her driving ability.

nobody exploded but he skimmed the passenger side and messed up two wheels, no pics of the second

i mean, if a mod wants to edit the title to "Ferrari FF road test and mild damage to front passenger side wheel" be my guest

Im sure due to the price of each wheel that its the equivalent to a "regular" crash.

I beg to differ-- it had ultra expensive super special semi-race tread summer tires that only go on real sports cars... and still clouted the curb due to the driver's mistake.

There were a few ugly Ferraris (612), and others that didnt age well (360 Modena comes to mind). The FF I think is pretty good looking, and shockingly one of the few Ferraris that dont look great in red.

Sir, please leave critiquing cars to the experts and send this car to the Top Gear (UK) crew, thanks.

Never was a fan of the 612 or this replacement for it. The 599 on the other hand..Anyhow I'm amazed this doesn't happen more often with how much these guys look at the camera and not the road ahea.

Um, try you suck at driving. Trying too hard to look at the camera with mommy's sunglasses on.
