It sure looked like he had a smashing time.
The driver of a ultra-rare LaFerrari spent $1.4 million on the luxury supercar – only to crash it mere minutes later.
The man behind the wheel – thought to be from Italy – is believed to have lost control of the car and hit four others parked on the side of the road.
The pictures were taken in the Hungarian capital of Budapest by local photographer Akos Moldvan on Halloween.

"The car slipped out of control when the owner tried to suddenly accelerate,” Moldvan told the Mirror Online.
"The driver didn't say much and hasn't really been under much stress after the crash. He lit up a cigar while he was taking out the cover for the car from the trunk.”
The man allegedly blamed the tires being cold for having no grip on the road.
