My mate was telling me a similar story about his uncle.
Took a 360 Modena for a test drive (being the rich bugger he is) and hit a cat at 200km/h mid test! Had to buy the car with the damage it caused. Destroyed the centre of the front and rear bumpers and left a great long red mark down the underside of the car.
Subsequently my mate gets a lift home from new market in a black Ferrari whenever his uncle is around.
