It will probably take years and years until people learn to stop touching other people's cars and the most recent example of this unfortunate practice has to do with parenting (done wrong).
As you can see in the image above, three little ones are enjoying their interaction with a Ferrari F40. The photo comes from none other that the owner of the Prancing Horse, who took to his Instagram account to share the kids' moment of joy with the world - the man doesn't seem to be upset about the episode, at least judging by the caption associated with the pic (check this out below).

And yes, the senior Fezza was "protected" by a pair of elements that should've allowed the parents to figure out touching the car is out of the question, even if we're talking about overly cute children.

The scratch-worthy adventure took place earlier this summer, as the man brought his F40 to classic and supercar pageant event. This was held on London's St John’s Wood High Street, with Sir Stirling Moss leading the list of VIP guests.

A few thoughts on this first world problem

While it might seem like we're exaggerating the issue, this is far from the case. In fact, back in 2014, we showed you a Facebook community called "Dont Touch The Cars". This is loaded with photos of people touching or even getting inside special machines that don't belong to them, while children being allowed to pull similar stunts make for a special category.

And while you might imagine that most adults doing this are still in their 20s, we'll unfortunately tell you that lack of respect for others' rides appears to have no age.
