The account I heard was the driver of the SL got the brake and accelerator mixed up and backed into the Ferrari.

put it in reverse and put your foot on the brake (you think) but its really on the gas, then when you push it the car speeds up so you push harder.

Its really not all that hard to do. Parking in front of a ferrari might make you a little nervous.

Too bad the Ferrari owner was not more cool.

I'm guessing the 3 kids in the back seat caused some distraction for the driver.

I did not actually watch the video....
I was thinking about the relative cost to repair the two vehicles based on the picture shown...

$hit happens everyday, so what is new? Looks like nobody is hurt so be thankful. There is nothing that can't be fixed with money here. Hope the MBZ is insured. Take the license of the MBZ driver away so it won't happen again. Life move on.
