I would say so. That car is worth more than the price of an average home in the US. You would think the driver they trust them to would have caught something like that

I guess McLaughlin & Son's 'Exotic Car Division' business of moving cars will take a bit of a hit. Would a willing customer entrust their expensive car to an outfit like this? Accidents happen, but this is asinine.

The new owner gets cheated out of his long ordered Ferrari and now has to get a lawyer to fight these clowns as the finger pointing will surely begin. The dealer will say 'we can fix it', and the dufus transport company will say, 'we were distracted and it isn't our fault'.

Hahaha its probably not publicized as much as it is when its an exotic. No one would really care if that was a Kia

Damage seems minimal. I would love to know how it happened though.
