Kid wrecks dad's Ferrari F360 Challenge Stradale
I'd hate to have to make this phone call!

It's never fun calling dad after crashing his car - but when you've just wrecked his prized Ferrari you can bet you're in for an earful.
A Melbourne man had to make that call on Saturday night after destroying the front end of his father's Italian Stallion in a smash near Rod Laver Arena.
The front of the red sports car, which police said had been speeding, finished wrapped around a pole in the spectacular accident, which took place on Batman Avenue.
The car is an F360 Challenge Stradale, one of just 16 imported into Australia and New Zealand in 2004, with a price tag speeding past the $400,000 mark.
It was a very limited production version of the Ferrari F360 that was designed as a track car but could also be used on the road. The standard F360 F1 at the time was $396,000, and the Stradale was more than that and built to order.
Television news crews filmed the apparently unhurt driver of the Ferrari ringing home as the car's male passenger was taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said.
The Nine Network last night reported the luxury car had suffered "extensive front-end damage".

Oops. Looks like a douche, though, so I have no sympathy. I also have no sympathy for the father, either...what kind of a dumbass lets someone else drive his $400k+ rare Ferrari?

Never would have happened on Superman Blvd. 
I'm sure pops will pony up the dough for a 430 Scuderia and the kid will be wrapping it around another pole next year. No formal training should = no seat time behind a car like that.

And even with full coverage, his Dad's premiums just went up the roof...and replacing the Stradale may be tough given the limited edition status of the vehicle? So, yeah...it is quite a big deal.

I know it's just a car (albeit a very 
one), but I don't know what I'd do to him if that was my kid. I'd probably strangle him at the very least......
