1958 Ferrari 250 TR...wow!

This happened a few months ago...been meaning to post this up prior to now, but anyway...

So, the car in the pics below is a 1958 Ferrari 250 TR that is reportedly worth around $8 million dollars (yes, $8,000,000! dang!) Also, there were only 34 250 TR's built from 1956 thru 1961; needless to say, this is a pretty rare car...

The wreck happened during the Monterey car week at Laguna Seca, right before the "Corkscrew." Apparently, the car totally lost it's brakes and what happened in the pics was the end result...Gotta give the owner/driver credit for actually getting out and using the car for what it was originally intended for...well, everything other than the off roading part!
