The Ferrari F150 Formula One race car proved itself to be a true Ferrari in testing earlier today by doing what Ferraris do best: catching on fire.
Was this guy trying to breakdance his car on its nose?
Blizzaster 2011 continues all across the United States. The gigantic snow storm has resulted so far in 12,000 canceled flights, up to 60mph polar winds and thousands of car accidents like this one, sent by a Gizmodo reader:

I know… I know… this isn’t a wreck. It’s just cool. And it’s my website, so therefore I can post what I want. And I want this car.
Track Day With Jim Glickenhaus’s Ferrari P4/5
While Big Jim G’s Ferrari P4/5 Competizione build marches on toward a track debut at the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring, he’s off to flog his Enzo-based P4/5 stradale on a test track near Paris. Banked turns FTW
This Mustang coughed up a lung
There’s not particularly a wreck here… just a nice Shelby Mustang GT500 pony (car) coughing up a lung while on the dyno.

Video: Danny Thompson’s 265-mph Mustang crash from inside the car
Danny Thompson, the son of Mickey Thompson, has a need for speed that’s satiated when he hits the salt flats in his 1,300-horsepower Ford Mustang. Thompson had previously recorded a top speed of 252 miles per hour but recently headed back to the flat lands for an attempt at the 300-mph mark. Problems arose as Danny passed 260 mph. The car began to lift and then left the ground at approximately 264.7 mph. Danny and his Mustang traveled 1,100 feet before returning to the salt and the car tumbled further before coming to a stop.
Amazingly, and a testament to just how good proper safety equipment is, Danny escaped from the wreck with no injuries. He didn’t have minor injuries, scratches or bruises… he was completely unharmed. Well, maybe physically, as a wreck like that can probably keep you awake at night for a few months. Also unharmed? The iPhone 4 sitting in his front pocket.

Video: Lamborghini Gallardo Twin-turbo crashes at Texas Mile
Underground Racing built this Twin Turbo Gallardo to go one mile racing. It was making just shy of 2000rwhp. At the Texas Mile, on October 23rd, 2010, they were attempting to set a new record. The driver went through the traps at just under 240mph. When he pulled the chute, the back of the car got loose causing the car to exit the track to the right. The car then went over a berm, causing it to go air born. Due to the extensive safety equipment, and a lot of luck, the driver walked away from this crash.
Thanks to Al Vennemeyer of Stealth Defense Holsters for the heads-up.
Yeah, car looks good… for now.
