Yep, that's a Ferrari alright, or was.

Unlikely to be a woman. Women can't judge space or distance, but most fatal accidents are caused by men because their weakness is that they drive too fast.
Also, few women are daft enough to waste money on a Ferrari in the first place.

You can tell it's a holiday and everyone is relaxed, I was hoping for at least a few nibbles.

Not as much as it hurts the Ferrari.

I suppose somebody has to point out that while a tree is a living thing, a Ferrari is not?
I think the driver should be posthumously charged with arborcide.

You obviously know nothing about Ferraris, trees are ten a penny, you just plant a seed and they grow, they're everywhere. Me, I'm sad over the death of a Ferrari, I've got a tree, I'll probably never have a Ferrari.

Well, charge him with Ferraricide, too, then.
Let's see: suicide, arborcide, and Ferraricide. Ought to send him down the river for about 3 months in Germany.

Tree is still alive so charging him with arborcide is hardly going to work, but that Ferrari, she gone baby gone.

A Volkswagen will get you from point A to point B just like the Ferrari, but just not as fast.

Like I've got a tree, I've got a Volkswagen too, it's not the same as a Ferrari.

As is the owner. You never know, if the owner felt the same way about his Ferrari as you do about your fantasy Ferrari, he might would rather have died than lose the car.

This just happened only blocks away from my home in CA. Check out the Corvette: it's literally disintegrated.

genau. Apparently she was VERY bright at school. Well, not bright enough... she should have stayed out of that car.

This guy is not the only poor unfortunate idiot who can't drive but owns a fast car:

Pfft, never buy a fuckwit child a car at all, of any kind. Sad my arse, it's a modern means of natural selection. Previously the weak and stupid would get eaten by animals, now they wrap themselves around immovable objects. The world is a better place.

Well that's a little harsh... but uh, yeah, what he said. My parents never bought me ANYthing.
Apparently drugs/alcohol were not involved. just poor judgment.
Reminds me of my first time in Germany, to meet the people who would later become my in-laws... and my then boyfriend going 240 kph on the Autobahn like a TOTAL DORK just to test out the rental car and apparently try to impress me. Had I had my Yankee firearms with me, they would have been pointed straight at him. Instead I told him something like my parents did not bring me into this world to have some dumbass Kraut like you take me out of it.
He slowed down. LOL

Of course, you have to terminate a situation like that with extreme prejudice.
Besides, no trees on the Autobahn, safe as houses.

No one doesn't. As I said, this is their job and I know of no emergency response worker who is all pansy about picking up the pieces. After two weeks on the job, it takes more than a burnt-out car and a charcoal body to freak them.
