Watch a Badly Damaged Ferrari F8 Spider Cruise Down the Highway

It's not all that uncommon to see a Ferrari driving around Los Angeles. Spotting one puttering around that looks like it's been driven through a battle... well, that's a bit less common. Yet that was exactly what motorists came across on February 2nd, when the driver of a Ferrari F8 Spider wrecked up his car after crashing into a center divider on the highway — yet kept on driving despite the heavy damage. According to video posted to multiple social media accounts including @angnews and @streetpeopleoflosangeles, at around 5 a.m. on the 2nd, officers of the California Highway Patrol reported to a crash on the westbound side of Interstate 10 near the Crenshaw Boulevard exit, where they came across the mangled V-8 Ferrari and told the man behind the wheel to scrape the car into motion and off the highway. "So it cranks? Drive it off on Crenshaw, I'll be right behind you," a CHP officer can be heard telling the driver. "The car's already totaled, it doesn't matter if it gets more messed up." Video from the scene posted online features the driver speaking with authorities, explaining that he was forced to swerve to avoid a gray car; unfortunately, that swerve put him right into a concrete highway divider. Thankfully, the driver appears to be all right, but the car suffered massive what can be seen in the video, it appears that all of the Ferrari's airbags were deployed. The driver's side of the car impacted the barrier, and it tore off the headlight on that side, as well as much of the front bumper. The driver's side rear wheel is wobbling, and with the exception of the front left tire, all the others are either flat or ripped off the wheels entirely. The windshield is smashed, and the frunk won't close. It's reminiscent of nothing so much as the scene in The Wolf of Wall Street when Leonardo DiCaprio's character drives his a white Lamborghini Countach home while high on Quaaludes.
