i hope you all are kidding...

Hmm, somehow I feel more sorry about the car.

as much as i love cars and the kid certainly did some insanely stupid things...

i believe nobody deserves to die, especially at such a young age. i guess i'm just too sensitive...

Its a little asian guy who can't speak english with keys :)

Wow, what a loser.

Edit:

Oh, I didn't read the thread. I didn't know he was on drugs.

That's kinda sad.. :(

Well a while back most of us voted for not killing 5 random people to get a ferrari. Good thing it turns out most would be happy to kill just one...

Probably an ordinary key with a security chip.

An fob is simply the keyless entry remote. The security system was on when he turned the key, so it cut off the ignition. He simply had to push the unarm button once and would have been in business.

Murcielago.

I kinda like Ferraris better, myself.

You think maybe this ferrari is now in my price range? Sounds like I'll have some pulp fiction style cleanup to do.

They'll probably sell it for $100,000 or so. Too many people are willing to make some compromises in order to own a Ferrari.

A kid drinks some cold medicine, threatens the lives of a bunch of completely innocent people, and tries to steal a really nice car (which would be very, very costly for the dealership...no Xmas bonus this year), and you expect us to feel sorry for him?

Actions have consequences. The only thing I feel sorry about is that he didn't learn that lesson earlier...

Apparently at the dry-cleaners.

Doesn't the 360 also have a starter button? He probably wasn't pushing that either, thinking you just turn the key in the ignition. Stupid people...

Oh and a 360 Spyder would likely be about $180,000 MSRP. I think the Modena is around $130,000 MSRP.

Yeah the impending release of Doom 3 will be blamed for this I bet.

I believe the Challenge Stradale is the only 360 with the starter button.

The Spider is generally selling nowhere near its MSRP due to demand.
