The most hilarious part was when it bottomed out as it entered the parking lot due to a slight hill, and the local panhandlers smelled money and came crawling out of the woodwork to help the poor guy.

Too funny.
You're lucky that Crockett or Tubbs didn't pull out a piece and take a few shots at you...

Meh it happens. I'd be quite happy having a Testarossa in my garage....512M or TR to be exact.

They still go for a pretty penny, have to drop at least $60k to get one, M's are a lot more.

I figure most folks will only push their car once in their life for running out of gas. I fill my car now. Yes the 260Z only weighed 2645 lbs, but up that blasted ramp it felt like half a million! We all screw up (me more than most!). I think I'd have gotten out and helped push (and then did the german accent bit while pushing so we could ALL laugh-it was funny).
