A batsh*t crazy YouTuber has bought a $400,000 Ferrari just to destroy it.
Ferrari has a reputation for filing lawsuits against people who modify their cars or don’t treat them right.
So, there’s a good chance there could be a lawsuit against these guys after what went down in the now-mega-viral video.

For many, the chance to own a supercar like a Ferrari F8 is all but a dream.
If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one, you’re probably going to do everything in your power to make sure it stays in mint condition.
But not this guy.
CHECK THIS OUT!
YouTuber Cody Detwiler from WhistlinDiesel purposely bought the supercar just to trash it – and did so in epic fashion.
Let’s make it clear, this wasn’t a used, beat-up Ferrari that was cheap either.
It was a 2020 model, with only 3,000 miles on the clocks, costing $400,000.
It even boasted thousands of dollars worth of options from new, but he simply didn’t care.
So, Detwiler got to work terrorizing the Ferrari F8.
First things first, he got to drawing rude images on the car’s emblems.
He even removed the supercar’s $30,000 stock exhaust, replacing it with a really loud one to get it to pop and bang.
Detwiler then set about destroying the Ferrari F8 by thrashing it off-road.
Unsurprisingly, it faired pretty well. Until it didn’t.
The harsh treatment soon started to take its toll on the supercar.
The first sign something was seriously wrong? There were error codes popping up left right, and center.
Detwiler then took a 3,300 psi power washer to the supercar’s paintwork, making every effort to spray into the air ducts, filling them with water and dirt.
The Ferrari F8 was then placed inside a protective bubble.
You know, the one’s people use to protect their supercars from harm.
That wasn’t in his plans, though, as he set about throwing various objects on top of the bubble in the hope of damaging the car inside.
Whether you watch the video with a smile on your face or a wince, you have to admit it’s entertaining.
