Some people (cough, cough… us) are so paranoid with their cars that they don’t even let valets park them because they are afraid of scratches. If those people had a brand new Ferrari, they wouldn’t let someone else drive it off into the sunset, not even somebody the trusted.
Have you noticed how car crashes are that much funnier when you mention a Ferrari is involved? This one is pretty funny!

According to Jalopnik, the car was given in confidence to a car cleaner and detailer by its loving owner. Hindsight is 20/20 but we thing on balance that was a bad idea. Some detailers like to dry cars by driving them around the block, but we don’t think you can dry a car on a wet day. Yep, de cleaner went for a joyride, and probably had the traction control fully off.

These photos come from a female blogger by the name of Nancy Atkinson Turner, whom we know from last year’s spectacular Goodwood crash involving a Gumpart.

Ferraris are known for being notoriously bad-tempered, even on a completely dry day. We think that the Ferrari would have been far better of it had remained dirty. Leave it in the rain, maybe hose it down once in a while, anything’s better than a missing wing and a botched front end.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
