My son-in-law drove a Bradley over an illegally parked Mustang without noticing it during training.
New York City delivery trucks might not be quite so large or tough as a Bradley, but...
In true New Yorker fashion, truck driver ‘didn’t see nothing’, as he crushed Ferrari FF

A delivery driver managed to back into – and then over – $300,000 Ferrari FF. Apparently, the FF’s sleek sexy Italian lines worked against it, as NBC reports that the truck driver “didn’t see nothing.”
Good news is that delivery company’s insurance provider probably won’t miss the repair bill because its going to cover several pages. Fortunately, no one was injured but the owner and car lovers everywhere are likely to need years of therapy to get over the horrific image of a Ferrari FF doorstop.
From the looks of it, not only is the bodywork smashed beyond recognition but the front suspension is crushed.
That would be bad on any car. Unfortunately, bad doesn’t even begin to cover it on the FF. This Ferrari has a four-wheel drive system by Rube Goldberg. What do I mean? It has an extra transmission going to the front! Yeah! My guess is that the extra gearbox doesn’t react well to truck bumpers. Call it an educated guess.
Apparently a paid driver was helming the FF when it was hit by the land equivalent of an iceberg. I don’t know if it would be worse to sit in your precious baby as it is slowly crushed like its in the garbage compactor on the Death Star or to be the employee with visions of being disemboweled by an enraged employer.
Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

I think the truck was double-parked on top of the Ferrari...
Ba-dum tish!
Definitely gives a new meaning to that phrase, that's for sure. Still, it's true what they say: Give a man an inch, and he'll try to park his car in it.

I am so schadenfreuding at this. Don't look at me funny, it's estimated 20% of English verbs started as nouns so I'm just following established tradition of expanding the language.

But they started as English nouns.
M brother said that his Romance language translators hate his habit of verbing nouns and coining new words.
His German translator just slaps a few words together in a big lump...

That's because Nermal racked up an impressive number of frequent flyer miles...and rented a jet for it's fuel cache.
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.
Yeah I saw this on the news last week. It was the "light-hearted" end to the run through of the top news stories on GMA...and apparently the crew on set were all very pleased to hear that the Ferrari had gotten a ticket (as if the getting-run-over-by-a-truck thing wasn't enough pain and suffering for a person with money to spare).
