Ferrari Shell 60 Years

This is a commercial celebrating 60 years of collaboration between Ferrari and Shell. My laptop speakers are not doing justice to the symphony.

I got an email titled "Dad can I borrow the car", and some lucky son's dad bought a $600K New Ferrari F430 maybe?
Anyways, his son took it out for a drive...
...and wrecked it at around 200 MPH!...
The biggest piece of the Ferrari left was the cockpit, The engine parted company, as well as the wheels...
But the cockpit manitained its space.
...and he walked away with just some bruises...

Says a LOT about the safety engineered into a Ferrari..

Very cool commercial, I don't think I've ever heard a Ferrari that didn't sound amazing.

As would I, but I know I'll never be able to afford one. Back when I was in my early 30s, I toyed with the idea of buying a used 308. Instead I invested in the stock market and lost 90% of it. Now with a mortgage, wife and kids in college a Ferrari is so far out of grasp it isn't funny. In my heart I'm a diehard Chevyman, with Camaros being my primary love, but there's something about that prancing horse than sends shivers down my spine.
