What's more surprising, is that the shack that the car landed on, is still standing.

well, parking in Europe is hard to find... you gotta take it where you find it

Looks like Luxemburg from the plate.

I'm trying to examine that photo as closely as possible. If it is a photochop, its the best darned one I've EVER seen. But it can't be real, can it?

It's real there's other pictures around showing the front end damage.

Whoa!!?

Am I crazy to think this guy got his car airborne, landed it on a house, and did no serious damage to the home or most of his car?

Now thats an accident to remember.

Personally watched a teenager (driving daddy's car) take the rear-end out of a Ferrari 308. Too much throttle around a corner, slammed the drivers side rear wheel into a curb, the rear end stayed in the gutter and the body was shifted over the sidewalk.

Almost cried at the scene (me, not the stupid, spoiled-brat rich kid!)

Seems wierd that it had enough speed to get up over the gap on the lower right, but managed to stay on the roof and not fly off the other end.

At first I thougt the thread was devoted to one of my wonderful parking manuvers but then the pictures loaded.

Apparently the 550 jumped a sloped curb.
