OT : F-50 body repair costs!

[Martin A.]

Just got back from the body shop to pick up my wife's 540 sportwagon after someone in their new SUV backed into the rear,managing to damage 3 panels, and the bumper.
The shop does a lot of exotics. There in the front was an F-50! Seems he rear- ended someone in traffic! (Imagine being hit by this). Though there isn't structural damage, the hood, bumper, lights and trim, the parts alone total $90K Then there will be the labor, paint etc! The hood alone is $30K, and they were lucky enough to find the last one in the US. After that one, if none were available globally, they would have had to wait till Ferrari had enough demand to lay up 10 of the carbon fiber wonders!
Kind of happy now the work to repair the 540 was only $4K!

[Martin A.]

Yikes,
I didn't mean for this to turn into a parade!
Wait for the Atomic 80 pics!

[VanCooper]

Well, out of respect for both the body shop and the Ferrari F50 owner who I also happen to know (turns out he's my buddy's best friend), I'm not going to mention the location of the shop nor the owner's name.

Here are the pictures plus a special bonus at the end
