RIP to a beautiful 2012 Ferrari 599 GTO.

What do you do after a bad day at the office? Hit the gym and sweat it off, getting those endorphins up? Take a really long, contemplative walk? Go home and knock down a couple drinks before bed?

Now what do you do if you’re a valet for a living and you completely total a $450,000 Ferrari because you “confused the brakes with the accelerator” while parking the supercar? That’s about as big of a professional big of a fuck up as it gets. How do you shake that one off?

Via the Telegraph:

Roberto Cinti, 38, was supposed to be delivering the 2012 599 GTO to the Hotel Exedra where its owner was waiting after attending a Ferrari Owner’s Club meeting in Anzio, south of Rome.

Unfortunately for Cinti, he became confused and pressed down on the car’s accelerator instead of the brake.

According to the Corriere della Sera, the valet blamed the car’s semi-automatic transmission for the error.

He ended up destroying the car by driving it through a shop window in Rome. Can’t imagine he’s going to have a career in the business of parking other people’s cars much longer.

In a review on Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson once said the Ferrari 499 GTO finds “new and exciting ways to physically harm you.” I guess he was spot on with that statement.
