The one I saw must have been in Europe..Guy driving was torn all to pieces..Wrapped around guard rail post after he hit a truck

Here's a link (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-022106crash_lat,0,3727466.story?coll=la-home-headlines)

Weird story, they say that nobody was hurt, but the driver ran off into the hills? Ok...

Funniest thing is the 'car expert' sounding guy in one of the clips says that the engine, "has a 16 valve V8".

Wow, a 16 valve V8? Who'd have thought there would ever be one of those!! :rolleyes:

[TonyL]

judging by the wheels on the enzo, its the one from west coast customs. (theres only one i know of with rims like that) there are two guys with the car, but they are claiming the "real" driver ran off. (the enzo seats two, duh) interesting.

this makes #3 that im aware of that wrecked. this one is the only one I know of that didnt kill its owner.

Imagine the lawsuits on this one! "Why would you sell me a car capable of that

speed?"

[Patrick]

"Why would you sell me a car capable of that speed?"

Because you had the money!!

[BMF Machine]

Holy Cow! It looks like a small jet airplane wreck site? That thing was hauling some a55 for sure! I have postponed getting a 328! I must save until I can get an older Testarossa! I love Ferrari Red! That car looks killer, even torn in half! I can't wait till 2050 when I hear my own V-12 roar!

Kevin:smoke:
Was all that stuff on the road fluids from the car or poop out of their pants!lololol

[Steve1968LS2]

That owner is so full of crap.. "I wasn't driving my car.. some german named Deitric was and he ran away!!!"

yea.. right..

[Damn True]

I think it'll fit in a '68

Can you imagine your driving along, humming your favorite song, and that motor comes at you, spinning and smoking with parts flying off?

I dont think it tumbled, the air cleaner looks too intact. ??

[homerneedspeed]

anyone remember what magazine the amc rambler wagon with the ferrari 360 drivetrain was in? it was a readers rides sort of deal with in construction pics. the story told was that a kid borrowed his dads 360 modena for prom and wrecked the front end so some guy bought the wrecked heap and swaped the drivetrain into the rear of his station wagon.

[TonyL]

/HAD to be done.

[vanzuuk1]

Body language suggests the guy in the background is the driver.

"Thats right officer, a whole family of deer ran out.."

[68fusion]

How long before it shows up on EbaY as a repairable wreck?
It only has light rear-end damage...

[MrAngry]

Idiot (referring to the Enzo driver)

[6'9"Witha69]

On the news this morning they said the owner didn't know the "driver's" name. Just that he was known as "the German". Trust me, people do a lot of high speed crap on sections of PCH. It can be a fun place to open up. But THAT fast!

[Beegs]

Would that be covered under warranty?

[bretcopsey]

BS!!


"I don't know the name of the guy that I let drive my Enzo..." :wasntme:

Like it's a used Accord out for a test drive... :bsjerk:

If that is in fact true, then I suggest he be nominated as damba55 of the year.

[trackrat79]

Check out Wreckedexotics.com Its a scream.

[camaro608]

i think there morons, the driver left the seen, forget that be a man and would proudly claim that crash!

[6'9"Witha69]

At least be proud you walked away!

[camaro608]

okay but i wonder what the first cop said

[6'9"Witha69]

"So you mean to tell me you don't know the guy driving your $1mm+ Enzo other than by 'the German'. In addition you let him do 120+ on PCH. Then you let him go after the accident. Is that what you are saying?"

"Uhhhhhhh, yeah, pretty much"

"RRRRRIIIIIIGGGGHHHT! Sir, please place your mouth here and blow!

[DJW32]

Can you imagine your driving along, humming your favorite song, and that motor comes at you, spinning and smoking with parts flying off?

Can I imagine? Yeah, imagine me putting it in the back of truck

[camaro608]

it wont be hard to find out who the driver was...there isnt very many enzos driving around out there

[Steve1968LS2]

Update.. I guess this guy just oozes bad luck..

BAC of 0.09%. Busted. There was no Dietrich. Just a stupid drunk who can't accept responsibility.

Drunks don't get killed. That is why.

[Damn True]

Taking odds on the following:

Does / Does not have insurance.

[TonyL]

actually, the carbon tub has a nasty habit of exploding all over the place leaving the occupant bouncing down the road in his seat.

Not ideal at 120 mph. In this case, the car worked like it was supposed to, broke in half and deposited the dude safely on the side of the road. Ferrari is so lucky he didnt die like the others have. the PR woulda been terrible. If you cant go 120 in a ferrari enzo, what can you go 120 in? right?

/yes, I'm being sarcastic.

[harshman]

From news video - “When we arrived the passenger had blood on his face. Both airbags deployed and only the driver's air bag had blood on it.”

Soooooo....

What was Mr. Giggles doing to the driver while sitting in the passenger's seat? Hmm!!!???

[Bob Johnson]

car was supposedly fixing to be reposessed by some overseas bank..The owner was supposedly Stephan Erickson..he had been convicted of fraud in Sweden in the 90's.. It was 6:00 in the morning and he was supposedly racing a SLR Mclaren Mercedes..blew 09 from drinking the night before..Blood on drivers side air bag..testing his DNA to see if it's his..he's in deep poo poo..He also has another Enzo..that one of questionable origin..looks like some jail time to me..

[vanzuuk1]

Tony , what others, any links? I am morbidly curious.

[Gonzostyle]

I told him he shouldn't let toonces drive

[TonyL]

well there is this one...

sad huh?

[BMF Machine]

I don't know whats saddest, all the Ferrari carnage; Or the fact that those people had driver's license's? Yes, 160, 180, 210? All very achievable in that ENZO, but not on Public Roads! Please! I have kids! Well one and one on the way. That guy, is just as braindead, as his videogame!

Kevin:smoke:

(I would have smoked the mcwhat, and parked the Enzo at home later! Poor driving, that is all. IT WAS A VERY VERY NICE CAR! He should get 30 years for totaling the Enzo!)

[JayR]

I told him he shouldn't let toonces drive

LMFAO!!!!!!

It was in Hot Rod a few months ago and is being built at a shop in the NW.

Turns out that he might of used fraudulant financing info to buy the car.. and he snuck it into the US..

A Scotish financing company was looking to repo it.. I wonder if they still want it??? :doh:

Thanks Damn True! It would be very nice to have that much money. I think everyone on this site would be out doing the same thing if we hit the lotto big time! I would pick a 4wd Lambo for the Icy coarses, and an Enzo for fair days! That Old guy is a hoot! I can't believe he tagged the wall, OUCH!

your not the first with that idea. ill tell u that much

[rob07002]

More money then brains in both cases, the Enzo dude and the Maseratti retard!

[wendell]

The above pic is an awesome example of what's supposed to happen when you ball one those up. All the weight shreds off it and you're left in a low energy pod. Once you're done skittering around the infield you get out and walk away. The problem is when you don't have an infield...

There's so much random stuff in that story it's hard to know what to think now... :dunno:

[vanzuuk1]

This could be from a bond film, maybe the guy driving had just saved the world with the assistance of a smoking hot female agent.

Or maybe he got drunk and drove really fast and crashed.

[shmoov69]

Sounds like he is transporting something, just prolly not disabled people!

[6'9"Witha69]

You know, living in Serra Madre, seeing those buses and the disabled people who ride them, WHY THE HELL DO THEY NEED COPS?!?! That is ridiculous.

[CraigMorrison]

And it keeps getting weirder. Why they haven't thrown this shmuck into jail for DUI is beyond me...............

[rockdogz]

http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=1692570&page=1&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312

A little more info.. just weird....

[TonyL]

man, this guy is an load of trouble. Seems he co-founded a fake transit authority, then a fake transit authority police force, and then a "anti-terrorism" branch, which, of course qualifies for federal Homeland Security money.... Nice scam.

Too bad he totaled the stolen ferrari and exposed it.

He's going to prison for a LONG time.

[Damn True]

All that's needed are these cats to show up with their little memory erasers.

[6'9"Witha69]

Ferrari quoted 200,000 to 300,000 to fix it! Ha! I could buy a Modena for that!

[DJW32]

He is jail bait! This guy is up the s**t creek without a paddle. Ha! Take that ferrari guy!
