What's the worst thing that could happen just after you get a brand new shiny toy? It going up in flames to the point of no return could be the worst thing ever.

An unnamed British man had only an hour to enjoy the brand new comfy seats of his new Ferrari before it burst into flames taking him off the road and into an open field. 

According to Mashable, the witness to the accident told the police officers who arrived on the scene that the driver was not speeding, which begs the question, 'What the hell happened?'.

The South Yorkshire Police Operational Support posted pictures of the charred remains of a brand new $340,468 (thats over R4-million for us South Africans) Ferrari 430 Scuderia on Facebook. 

It's a miracle that the driver escaped with only minor cuts and bruises. 

Here's another unfortunate driver who recklessly crashed his car just as he left the dealership: 

Ouch!
