Wrecked Ferrari Day. Two Loaned Ferraris Wrecked By High School Baseball Players
Seeing MajorChode's thread, I thought I'd add to the Lounge's collection of recent painful Ferrari stories.

A high school baseball coach in Oklahoma City loaned both his Ferraris to a quartet of his players — who managed to wreck the hell out of them in a mall parking lot.

The players, all juniors, had been given the cars completely unsupervised by the coach, who apparently has a terminally dangerous case of bad decision making. The former neurosurgeon gave the kids his 1991 Ferrari Testarossa and 1995 Ferrari 348, which inevitably ended in the 348 T-boning the Testarossa.

When the coach showed up at the scene of the carnage, his response was to light up a cigarette, and coolly state: "It's gonna take a lot of homeruns to cover this one up." Head over to Wrecked Exotics for more painful photos of the scene.

4. Seriously, how can anyone have sympathy for the coach? I would have put money on something like this
happening without any supervision. What an idiot, plus, I bet he gets slapped with a bunch of nice lawsuits for his wrecklessness.

5. Words fail...
1.) High school coach with two Ferraris? :wtf:

I think I just decided on my new career path.

My Koenigsegg dream will become a reality!

11. I have no doubt he has the insurance to replace them.
Probably looking forward to shopping for a new pair.
