A Ferrari owned by a Smartcar! :yikes:

EDIT: The brief

First Ferrari 458 Speciale Crushed by a Smart Car
Feb 23, 2014
It was bound to happen sometime, but why so soon? The first accident involving the brand-new Ferrari 458 Speciale has just been reported from Berlin, Germany, and it is even more embarrassing than we could have imagined. While it seems the Ferrari driver wasn't at fault this time- it was the other guy who ran a red light- it’s still appalling to see what a Smart ForTwo could do to this 597 horsepower, $300,000-plus Italian beauty.
The first, painfully disturbing images have just come online from Germany. Car Spotting Berlin and BerlinRichStreets both hit the scene, reporting that the Smart driver ran the red light and was side-swiped by the 458 Speciale, which was driving at a high speed. The Smart flipped over a number of times before coming to rest on the median. As for the Ferrari, its front end looks to be completely totaled, while the rear-mounted 4.5-liter V-8 seems relatively unharmed.

And that's a "Speciale"... Oh well. I'm sure the owner can pick up another one easily enough.

I"m betting is more about the angle of impact than it has anything to do with who hit what.
Been there, done that!

p.s. Regardless of whether that's a Ferrari or not, both drivers are lucky not to have serious injuries.

What I find embarrassing is how some people find high speed accidents that risk peoples lives an opportunity to make a joke or cheap shot about. Sad really.

Yep, side.

I recall one of you posting something about a guy climbing great heights, I watched that one but felt it was a bit tame and wanted to share one which made me a bit weak footed just watching it but couldn't find it. Someone happened to fwd it to me today. :D

Enjoy the trip. Try not to trip.

Yeah, I love this video. The bit right at the top where he is standing, whilst not holding on. The guy has balls of steel.

An old term but I really enjoyed the explanation in this blog. Reckon it could be helpful for beginners in go karting.
