The proper way to lower my Ferrari...Pics!

Actually more like poor scooter watching a frisky F150 frolicking with a Ferrari:

Holy crap!

I can't even begin to imagine what happened there.

Did some crazy F-150 driver come racing up the driveway, lose his brakes, and decide the Ferrari was a good deceleration zone? I don't see any marks on the side of the Ferrari to suggest such a course of events though...

Do yo know the story?

It almost looks like the Ferrari lost control at high speed and plowed through the garage door and wedged under the truck... Looks like the truck was hit in the right rear corner...

Only flaw I see with that scheme is ... Is the guy still in the Ferrari??? How'd he get out ?? Doesn't look like the driver's door has been budged and doesn't look like the passenger side is an option ??????

I bet you guys are right... The truck plowed over it .....

It's typical of a dumb truck that it can't even get itself at the right angle for sex...

I think this may have something to do with a divorce.

Exactly.

Why do I keep thinking any angry wife (or ex) was involved in this incident?

Yasin,

Help us solve this riddle, please. Looks to me as if the truck was lifted up on top of the F-car. Have to admit my mind also wonder of in the direction of a smothered woman...

Now this is a Ferrrrarrrri I like.
He could lower it some more if the other guy had used a tank...

Ever since Enzo rebuffed Ford's offer to "marry" the companies, the "blue oval boys" have been looking for ways to $crew Ferrari back!
