Jun 19 2008Worst Ferrari Owner Ever

Yeah, I can barely afford the gas for my Lambo so I feel for him.

You mean your Portuguese is limited.

Huh, we speak Portuguese in Brazil, not Spanish... Also, if you're stupid (as you can see by the fact that he drives it in his goddamn shorts) and rich enough to own a Ferrari here, you'll probably fuck it up as this idiot did.

$#!!*!&!% fiberglass!

Yahtzee!!!!

Actually, unless he ran a red light...the accident appears to be the fault of the Renault. To me it appears the Renault t-boned the douchebag. Cracking up the passenger side and fuel tank. Hence no gas.

I don't know...it's lookin' pretty nasty on both sides of the ferrari

Another Brazilian reader here. I was going to post a full translation of the article but since you apparently believe we speak Spanish, I lost all will to do so :(

I call shenanigans! Unless it was out of gas first b4 the accident, since the car there pushing has no damage to it...or did i not have enough coffee yet?

never mind google translator..

Some time passed, the ferrari was repaired, going on holiday in balneario camboriú - sc, without getting gasoline, and dubbed by local media of manés! Qual será a proxima aventura dos manés, donos da ferrari AFT-0017? What will the next adventure of manés, owners of ferrari AFT-0017?

your english seems to be pretty fucking limited, too

Wow, it's about time my Portuguese came in handy! Moved back to the states seven years ago, and finally the Geekologie writer gives me a chance to whip it out! Take that however you want to...

Basically the article says the following:
*******************************************
FERRARI IDIOTS
This is the complete story....
The story of the dummies and their Ferrari...
Yes, it all began in Cascavel, Panrana, when a marveous ferrari hit a Corcel (photos). This resulted in the driver of the Corcel getting out of his car and saying, "Everyone gets his due..."
Some time passed, the Ferrari was repaired, and was going on holiday in Balneario Camboriu, Santa Catarina, when it ran out of gas, and left these two idiots stranded in the middle of town! What will be the next adventure of the dummies, the owners of Ferrari AFT-0017?
More info:

Looking on the detran(?) site, more info: Market value: 631,300,000 Reais (Brazilian money, about $200,000.00 depending on the conversion) Upon purchasing your ferrari, make sure your kid only drives it in the yard!

VIEW THE PHOTOS BELOW!!!

There you go, I believe my work here is done...

Se hao brasileiros lendo o que escrevi, pode me corrigir... Eu falo bem, mas acho escrever em portugues eh dificil. Sei la....

I'll throw this guess out there, that the detran site is the departmento de transito. Tell me I don't need to translate that...

LOL.
It's at Camboriu beach.
And the car is from Cascavel city. I lived there. Nice city, good people, it's 140 km from Iguaçu falls, a very nice place. Cascavel have lots of good cars, people have a good culture and lots of great farms and industry makes a rich place.

And the other car appears to be a Ford Corcel, an older model from the earliest 70's and that time was a... hum... say... a good car to many. Today is like you a colision into a trash can.
And may be gas is not the problem. The poor car probably become traumatized, like Paris Hilton (nothing personal, I like her) awakening in the morning aside someone too ugly, old and with strange smell, but sure she hasn't any fun that night.

Greetings from Brazil. No snakes in the streets here.

man... if i totaled my car like that... i wouldn't wanna show my face... anywhere

Detran is Traffic Department

Hi Brian, you didnt make big mistakes...

Im almost sure the Ferrari out of gas was photoshoped putting the AFT0017

Aliás, tem mais brasileiro por aqui? hehe

Parece que sim... Mas eu sou Americano...

I squinted and was able to read the article on the link scanned from the newspaper, and it appears that not only did they have that previous accident, but at the time of the accident, there was a judicial ban on their car. Basically like getting in a wreck in a Farrari here with a busted up Ford Pinto* while driving with an expired registration. It was illegal for them to be driving anyway.

*Funny note: pinto is slang in Brasil for dick. *snicker* dick... he he..! I wonder if Ford ever went to Brasil and tried to market their wonderful car, the Ford Dick.

Si...fly.

Hi, I'm a Brazilian too. I was born near this town Cascavel and there really are a lot of rich dummies over there.
Great site, Geekologist! I'm glad you just learned something new today (the language we speak in Brazil, I mean).
Keep on with the good work.

It's NOT a Renaul 12! It's actually a Ford Corcel (Ford Pinto in US).

According to the tax sheet, this a**hole has to pay R$ 10.300 (Approximately US$ 17.300) in taxes.

...and by the way, we speak portuguese. ;)

It is a Ford Corcel, actually, but the Ford Pinto doesn't look the same model. Renault 12 is closest since is the same design on different chassis.

damn i remember how much it sucked when i crashed my porcheborginnirrari 911 turbo murcielago GT SS!!!!!!!!!!! and by porcheborginnirrari 911 turbo murcielago GT SS i mean my shitty toyota echo.

Oh man that guy sucks - classic receipe portuguese here

FAIL!

@25: man I can't believe you own one of those porcheborginnirrari 911 turbo murcielago GT SS!! Wicked!! I've been searching one forever... that car is simply classy. It's basically a ferrari with lambo doors, the trunk of a porsche and the engine from my Vespa GT. As I said, simply classy.

lol @ #28 read #25's full post

it was a joke

lol @29.... pretty sure 28 was joking too

Kid gordo, say do geekologie

Gosh man, spanish?!

one more brazuca here.

Portuguese gal here ;)

And give Geekologist a break. It's perfectly acceptable for him to think spanish is Brazil's national language. You are, after all, the ONLY country in South America that doesn't speak spanish or castellano or something similar. We can't always know every language that is spoken in every country.

Of course, I do think you all were kidding. So yeah.

But if he ever calls Portugal a province of Spain, I'll be appalled. He better run because all my little search-and-destroy robots will chase his ass before he can say "Superficial, help me!"

--- According to the tax sheet, this a**hole has to pay R$ 10.300 (Approximately US$ 17.300) in taxes.

R$ 10.300 is about US$ 6.500

1 dolar = 1,6 real

i can't believe you thought spanish was the language spoken in brasil. how embarrassing.

Um, it's not a Ferrari, it's a fake.

A real Ferrari would be much larger.

If you look at the pic it appears to be only as wide as a Peugot 307.

I think not!

It's registered as a Ferrari, which means it has the VIN of a Ferrari.

"cada um paga o seu, cada um paga o seu!" gritava o dono do corcel.

Ford Pinto isn't the same model as a Ford Corcel, which is based on some Renault model though (the same way as the GM's Opala is an Opel model something). This one is probably a 1975 model I think.

I also think that the out of gas ferrari isn't the same car of the crash. First if the out of gas incident happened after the crash, it would have taken a lot of time for it to be fixed. Unless these vacations at the beach happened a few years later. Second if he had such problems for not paying the taxes the car would have been aprehended at the spot of the crash assuming the crash happened before the out of gas episode.

barrichelo:

Actually, yea the ferrari withou gas was the same ferrari from the crash, except the crash occured about two years earlier. There was a small article about it on the local news where I live (Curitiba –PR), which happens to be on the same state of where the crash occurred. I also have access to our federal licensing system, due to the fact that I work on the commercial area of a Nissan plant here in Brazil and my job requires it, and yes it is a real Ferrari. Me and some fellow workers already checked it, back when the crash first happened. The only reason why they didn’t confiscate the car is because here in Brasil the laws work a little differently, and much like in many parts of the world, people with money can “have” there way out.
