Ferrari 599 GTO backs up into a pole

If one of us here at egmCarTech was to ever purchase a Ferrari or any other supercar for that matter, we would take care of it more than our first-born (we are exaggerating…relax). Either way, this driver of the Ferrari 599 GTO isn’t as careful as we would be with his black Ferrari 599 GTO.

Hit the jump to see him in action.

    D’oh!
    You would think that for a car with a starting price $426,843 it would include front and rear warning (parking) sensors. but no, the Rear Park Sensors are an extra $1,519 or for $2,568 you could get both Front and Rear Parking Sensors. 
    Moral of the story is not to skimp on the parking sensors if you are gonna buy a GTO.  
    OR
    Just get a Corvette ZR1 for a quarter of the price and then you can bump into as many poles, walls, etc… as you like as the bumpers (front and rear) are made of that flexible plastic material that simply ‘gives’. I think the ZR1 also comes with front and rear parking sensors free. So there.  The remaining 3 quarters of the GTO’s price can then be used for gas.
