Lawyer abandons Ferrari to make court date

One of the most commented on tweet-pictures out of Monday’s storm is the shot of lawyer Howard A. Levitt’s $192,000 Ferrari sitting above the axles in water under the Simcoe Street underpass. People found it titillating and downright unbelievable but Mr. Levitt did get it right. If the rule of successful people is that they put first things first, Mr. Levitt figured it out. He decided that his obligation to appear in court at an important hearing in Ottawa trumped his fancy car. A lawyer telling a judge he missed court because his car got stuck in water is like a kid telling a teacher that the dog ate his homework.   Mr. Levitt left the Ferrari and took a cab to the Island Airport crossing.
