A delivery truck driver in NYC reportedly said the above after backing over a $300,000 Ferrari, which the paid driver (not the owner) had double parked on the street.

Ooopsy! -

I'm not quite sure why this is hilarious, but it is.

That's why we have automotive insurance, right?

I wonder what the premiums are on a car worth more than a quarter million dollars.

No one was hurt or anything, just btw. The driver wasn't in the car.

I have no idea why the guy parked the car there; the story was on local news pretty much just as it is in the little linked story. However, not visible in that pic, but hidden behind the truck, I happen to know, is a Chinese restaurant. That might have been an expensive lunch.

Sports cars are low. Cube vans are tall. I'm not surprised it happened.

I've got little sympathy for someone who double-parks and then gets damage to their vehicle because of it. That said, getting run over by a truck is a leeeeetle more damage than I would normally anticipate a poor parker's car to suffer.

I'm more horrified that someone would pay $300K for a hatchback than anything
That's a good point. Ferrari makes hatchbacks?!

Way to dilute the brand.

As I age, I toy with the idea of getting rid of my current vehicle and investing in something tall, rusty and indomitable--like a 1940s Ford farm truck. I'll just spend my golden years backing over or slamming flat any pecker head who hems me into a parking space. I'll gladly pay the elevating premiums for the joy of zooming into the sunset while flying a bird out the driver's window. By the time they snuff my policy I'll be too old to drive anyway--s6
