    I was driving down memorial drive today towards Boston downtown and a stupid Toyota Prius cut in front of my F430 and frigging clipped my bumper.
    The car lost its tail when I tried to steer away from her (notice, the driver is a her) and crashed into the concrete side wall.

    My lawyer still trying to figure out whose fault it is. As for now, my car looks like a total lost... :(

    Glad that you're OK, but sorry about your car.



    Do U.S. 430's always have running lights on automatically?

    wow. If she pulled out in front of you it's going to be her fault.

    The same thing happend to a buddy of mine. He had a car in front of him contantly braking and when he legally started to pass the vehilcle, the vehicle pulled in front of him, causing him to slam into the back of it.

    It was rulled in favor of my buddy, even though he crashed into the rear-end of the other vehicle.

    As long as there was a police report made, and you have her insurance information. I think you'll pull through.

    what was the look on the face of this woman driver when she saw what she had done?

    No engineer here, but the batteries for the electric motor are in the rear - probably a tail heavy vehicle - see if insurance company/lawyer can come up with any unusual handling characteristics for this vehicle. Could be a "normal" sedan with single engine and proper weight distribution could have a safety edge over a two engine(gas and electric) with batteries over the rear axle. Get a copy of a Prius owners manual to see if there are any warnings to the Most manuals are 80% warnings. The thought here is that the design has to be a compromise and the loser is handling quality. Maybe she could have recovered in a normal vehicleSincerely hope there were no injuries.

    Sorry about the car. Glad to hear you're alright.

    Kind of ironic that it was a Prius, the anti-Ferrari.

    I don't do this often..............

    F430 v. female driven Prius ? I smell a troll.........

    That would have made the local Boston media outlets and placed in their top 5 stories. A cursory 30 minute web search of all available outlets revealed nothing. It is 7:30 PM in Boston as I post this.......

    I have also reviewed the 86 or so posts this individual has made (and while I will reserve judgement on the type of character that they portray, you'll get my drift if you look at them yourself)........he claims to have owned an Enzo........IMHO all I can say is "this thread is worthless without pics and proof of ownership of both the current wrecked F430 and the previous Enzo".........

    Maybe my "BS" detector is out of tune.......let's see.......I could be wrong. Apologies in advance if that is the case.........

    In my city you can go on the police department website and look at the calls for service in any of the neighborhoods. Per incident, there is a description and what time it happened, and on what block. I wish his city or where this happened did the same...

    Wow, I can't believe I missed this guy. Am I behind?? Then again, I'm still a trainee. We need to start sending out Mass PM's to those who enforce, whenever suspicion arises.. :)

    Well, he does have "NA" in the 'Ferraris owned' part of his profile... and isn't subscribed... and can't write clear English... but he had a couple hundred grand to spend on a sports car... but there are no photos of the accident...

    If this is another bs post, it's in very poor taste given the number of serious accidents and deaths we've read about recently.

    you know, for someone that used to own an enzo, i would believe that you would have known the fact that the enzo is designed to split into two, as the vast majority of non-owners know, since you stated in one of your posts that you had no idea that it was designed to do so.

    That, and the fact that you made up being involved in an accident is just wrong.

    or

    You know what? I feel like trading in my CL + money for your Salvage F430. Just a little project car. Could you give me the VIN so I can check and see that it's no longer a Clean title on carfax?
