There are a lot of people with the money to buy nice cars, but an absolute inability to drive them. And that’s how this
Mercedes-Benz
SL ended up beached on the nose of a
Ferrari 458 Speciale.
It happened at a Virginia cars and coffee event, and that inability to drive we mention doesn’t refer to the poor
Ferrari owner. According to the
YouTube description, the driver of the 380SL was attempting to parallel park when she landed on top of the hot
458. But since the video doesn’t start until the Benz has landed, we only have the video uploader’s word.
But don’t click away yet – the Ferrari’s owner returned to the scene. Despite a hint of adult language, he’s far more calm than we would be in that situation. That doesn’t mean he’s not angry, decrying the crash as “the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.”
We agree, especially when you notice space between the
458 Speciale and the
Nissan 300ZX in front of it. This was by no means a tight or difficult place to park, even without George Constanza’s god-given
parallel parking skills. Even a semi-competent driver could have maneuvered a vehicle far larger than a 15-foot-long roadster between the two cars with room to spare.
