UK man demolishes F430 Scuderia less than an hour after he bought it

Ever purchase something, say a nice shiny pencil, and then go on to lose it later that day? Agh, that’s the worst. Ever drop $288,000 on a Ferrari F430 Scuderia and then go demolish it less than an hour later? Cops had this to say ... "the vehicle had left the carriageway and burst in to flames. Road conditions were wet at the time and as officers arrived on scene it became clear there was a vehicle well alight and colleagues from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue were in attendance squirting water all over some kind of sporty model".

This charred and twisted blob of hi-teck is all that’s left of the lightweight exotic after it flew off the road in wet conditions and went airborne on the M1 in South Yorkshire. After its unscheduled flight, the F430 careered down a bank for 50 metres before finally coming to a halt in a field. It proceeded to burst into flames. The unnamed driver escaped with only minor cuts and bruises. One assumes next time he'll learn how to drive.
