You'd think that owning a $250,000 AUD Ferrari would at least make you a bit careful but apparently that wasn't the case with the Australian owner of this five-year old 360 Modena. Eyewitnesses reported that the driver of the Italian supercar turned the quiet streets of the Australian town of Walkerville into a racetrack before a telephone pole reminded him of his whereabouts. Surprisingly, even though the pole sliced the front end of the 360 Modena in half reaching into the cabin area, both the driver and his male passenger managed to walk away from the accident suffering only minor injuries. Talk about being lucky... -Continued

Why would someone go into all that hassle and spend so much money to convert a perfectly fine looking supercar like the Honda NSX (sold as the Acura NSX in the States) into a Ferrari 360 Modena replica is beyond us. To be honest, we thought that these things only happened to cars like the Toyota MR2 and the Pontiac Fiero. Between you and me, what would have really blown our minds is if it were the other way around, meaning a 360 Modena turned into an NSX replica. Now that would have been something worth talking about. But anyways. -Continued 
The Swiss seller of the Acurrari 360 Hondena claims that no expenses were spared during the transvestation transformation of the NSX into the Modena. But it gets even better. Here's an extract from the description of the vehicle on eBay:
"For this money you could get a real Ferrari. But everyone can buy a real Ferrari. This genuine Ferrari you can buy only once, as it is the only one in the world. The gasoline consumption is less than half of Ferrari with similar performance, maintenance costs are very much cheaper than Ferrari, and this car has the reliability of Honda ... ( Rust has no chance, in contrast to Ferrari ...)"
Yep, now we're totally convinced that we should spend more than €31,100 / $41,400 -which is the latest bid on eBay as we speak- to buy a vehicle that looks no different than every Tom's, Dick's and Harry's F(i)errari replica.
