Everybody knows that keeping fast cars in check at high speed is a tall order and that a small error, or lack of skill, on the part of the drive can lead to disaster. What a lot of people overlook, though, is that powerful cars are also tricky to get off the line; a fact that the owner of this Ferrari 550 Barchetta found out the hard way.

This is especially tricky with manual cars. Too little gas and you stall, too much gas and you spin out of control. The Ferrari driver here falls victim to the latter. Still, he was pretty lucky that it ended up in a mild fender bender.

He was also lucky that his Ferrari 550 Barchetta cut that old cheap wagon somewhere nice and soft – in the hip! Damages to the parked vehicle have reportedly been taken care of satisfactorily.
