Ferrari 458 Italia gets involved in another car crash

If you’ve ever heard of Murphy’s Law, then you pretty much know how it goes; “Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong." And if you have been keeping tabs on the Ferrari 458 Italia recently, then you wouldn’t be the least bit remiss when you start associating that famous – or infamous – tenet with the Italian supercar.

You see, over the past few days, 458 Italias from all over the world have crashed and/or burned down more times than Lindsay Lohan has had tequila shots. The figures, unfortunate as they may be, speak for themselves. In the past three months, nine models have already been sent to the heap yard and this latest one, which happened in the Czech Republic, pushes the total to ten. Only this week, we’ve reported on four other incidents and with this crash, that’s five reported incidents of the new Ferrari supercar burning down or crashing in a heap.

This recent case, though, may be the most frustrating of them all because this car was as brand new as a shiny new pair of fresh-out-of-the-box Air Jordans. With only 300 kilometers – that’s a little less than the distance from New York City to Baltimore, Maryland – on its odometer, the owner just got his car fresh from the dealership when the crash occurred. That’s about the worst imaginable way to waste a supercar of the 458 Italia’s stature.

Then again, at the rate it’s going, we have no idea how many more of these unfortunate incidents are going to happen in the future. For the sake of everybody who has one, let’s all hope that the car’s mortality rate slows down significantly.
