Get it right in a Ferrari and you're a hero. But when the showing-off goes wrong, there's the double hit of a huge bill and internet infamy.
A Ferrari 360 lines up to spin its tyres at an Australian 'Powercruise' event. The cars before it successfully powered off in a fog of rubber smoke but... oh dear. Looks like the Italians engineered just a bit too much traction into that Modena.
Showing off to a British crowd in Le Mans, a guy in a 355 goes from hero to zero in two seconds. Scarpered, but really, who would have stayed for the abuse? `WARNING: Contains naughty language.`
Sometimes just the presence of a camera can cause Ferrari drivers to overstep the mark. Emerging in convoy from a European dealership, an over-revving driver spins and shunts his priceless 512BB.
There's the dream of Ferrari ownership and then there's the reality. Five minutes to park the thing, with help from a passing waiter.
Actor Eddie Griffin wrecks a Ferrari Enzo after understeering into a barrier during a promotion of the movie Redline. Probably a good move, publicity-wise.

Ferrari is a sports car. It is for wealthy people because of its quality and luxury brand name. Rich people get access to things everyone else cannot afford to dream about. One thing many people can't get is a completely personalized Ferrari. Eric Clapton recently received one, a custom-built 458 Italia, which is now an internet sensation. If you are financing used car, you might like to keep away from costly Ferraris.
