Another case of more money than brains, talent and ability strikes again.

Something like 20% of all Dodge Vipers don't survive the first week of ownership. I had a Dodge dealership sales director share that with me.

I bet the people who's cars were hit were happy. probably thought "oh snap, this dude has money" while the first wave of lawyers came running out from the horizon.

You guys always say money doesn't buy brains but I'm sure this happens more often to people with cheap cars

Actually in a sense money could buy brains if you spend it on a Hi-performance driving school before you invest in a super car then you would know when it`s the right time and the wrong time to "get on it" is. Maybe the owner of this Ferrari should of spent some of that money on this school that Ferrari offers owners. http://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/owners/driving-courses/
