Turn over the Ferrari, torch it? 
There's no need to punch the taxi driver, TWICE.

Some idiots roll around without tags (proper insurance) in the states, yes even people who own exotic cars and it looks like the cabby was looking for any excuse to have the Ferrari driver assault him so he could sue him.

^ exactly. will cost $300 deductible but maybe $10k loss in resale because the vehicle will have a claim on it now even if it is just a scuff on the rear bumper. A claim is a claim.

Still, just a car.
10K is probably just chump change for those that can afford a Ferrari.
Ultimately, cars aren't good investments because of how quickly they can
depreciate. Stuff happens. These are simply risks you take by driving nice cars
out of your garage. The ferrari driver doesn't have to be such a dick.

That $10k loss from it no longer a clean title IS something to cry over. Even if you drove a ferarri, $10k might be a lot of money. Especially if you scraped and saved to get that ferrari in the first place.
What I don't get is why the cabbie is crying.

as long as you drive on the road, you have a chance to be hit, whether it's a $10K or a $300K car, you take the risk when driving...

Maybe the cab driver wanted to be punched on purpose so he could sue. They are in the States.
