ok, who's missing an Enzo?
 

Found this on the news...there's a video of whats left of the car. Not bad considering he was doing a buck 20 and went airborne and hit an electrical poll...

CBS) MALIBU, Calif. A speeding Ferrari whose driver may have been racing crashed Tuesday on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, prompting the closure of the roadway and an investigation to determine who was behind the wheel, officials said.

Paramedics sent to PCH at Decker Road about 6:15 a.m. treated one person at
at the scene for a minor injury, said Los Angeles County Fire Department
Inspector Ron Haralson.

That man, whose name was not immediately released, told authorities he was
the owner of the Ferrari Enzo, but claimed that he was the passenger and that
the driver ran off after the crash,.

He was tested and allegedly found to be over the legal limit of alcohol
consumption for driving in California.

The Ferrari's driver may have been racing with the driver of a Mercedes-Benz, in an event allegedly staged following a late-night party in Beverly Hills.

"The fact (is) that the `passenger' is the registered owner of the vehicle, from the Beverly Hills/Bel Air area; the `passenger' had blood on his mouth; and both airbags on the car deployed, but only the driver's side airbag had blood on it, not the passenger side," sheriff's Sgt. Philip Brooks said.

As of late this morning, there had been no arrests in the case, according
to the watch commander at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station.

The Ferrari Enzo, a limited-edition vehicle worth between $600,000 and $1
million, has a published top speed of 225 mph.

"We have the passenger, who told us the driver did flee from the scene,"
Brooks said. "And we ... followed some footprints up the side of the hill in
an effort to locate the driver."

Authorities believe the Ferrari "was traveling at least 100 mph and it
will probably be a lot more than that once we conclude our investigation,"
Brooks said.

The impact sheared the car in half, with the entire front section separated
from the rest of the vehicle.

"For a million dollars, you get a very good passenger-safety system, and
apparently in this case it did work," Brooks said.

Some electrical service was interrupted in the area after a power pole was
struck by the car. At least one lane of PCH remained closed late this morning
while crews worked to replace the damaged pole.

REPOST!!


hhahaha no im just kidding- Abbid sent me that in an IM a little bit ago.
any update on if they found the driver yet?

Glad I made it out of California on foot

Good stuff huh... it's at www.cbs2.com if you want to see more video of it.

I bet the Ferrari Forum members right now are cheering this... The price of the collectible Enzo just went up yet again.

So another Enzo gets split in half. Guess it just adds more fuel to the "just because you are a Ferrari owner DOESN'T make you a Ferrari driver" argument.

I feel more sorry for the car than the stupid owner who was apparently the passenger, which we will later find out he was the driver and there was no Mercedes, he was just drunk and stupid. Also, if there was a second person, don't you think he would know the name of the guy so the police can track him down. I mean what kind of schmuck (ok this schmuck) would let someone he doesn't know drive his Enzo.

Maybe it is just me, but only on PCH in the Bel Air area would there be a story about a Ferrari racing a Mercedes, hope it was an SLR. I know the Vegas people are going to flame me for that, it could happen there OK, ... putting flame suit on now.

Oh man thats just great now we are going to see that car on ebay motors LMAO! :rollingla :cwm27: :nono:

I hope they shot both the driver and passenger for being idiots and f*&king up a $700K car

Some guy named "Dietrich" did it, huh?

Meanwhile, didn't that female news anchor look completely ridiculous? She had so much collagen in her lips I'm surpised she could even move her mouth. And those fake eyelashes!!!!! It's amazing what people will do to themselves.

^^^LOL way to jack the thread in a classic girl fashion

Stefan Erickson is the owner of the car.
apparently racing someone in a SLR
His car apparently is also the enzo that was at the SEMA show last year. red black interior with aftermarket wheels.

So how many Enzos are functional right now? 397?

Just saw this shit on TV. Feel like crying :(

she usually looks pretty decent, i don't know why she did that to her lips, i watch that news channel every now and then, i can totally tell.

Perhaps she has been driving a Ferrari Enzo into a electrical poll and needed to cover up the marks from the airbag??
:rolleyes:

Turns out the schmuck that owns the Enzo is a Swedish "businessman" :uhh:

Makes me ashamed!
:cussing:

Cheers, Niclas

Interesting how there is blood on the drivers airbag, but not the passenger and he has blood on his mouth, hmmmmmmmmm.

Apparently being that rich doesn't make you a good liar.

Bit his tongue/lip in the process of his head flying around and started bleeding after initial impact?????

The whole story doesn't sound right.

well it obviously dosnt sound right and hes obviously lying, but this is america. And if hes rich enough and is willing to pay enough money. Then he stands a good chance to get away from it. Perhaps he might have said what hes lawyer told him to say.

The news reporter mention nicholas cage , tommy hilifiger own the same car but failed to mention my name. :)

Well someone made a good point on the Ferrari board, he said he was racing another car, most insurance policies will not pay if racing is involved when the vehicle is wrecked. There goes his insurance reimbursement.

That probably goes double for racing while intoxicated (.09 BAC).

oh yeah, well i AM nicolas cage, so it cannot be disputed as to whether or not i own an enzo!

oh yeah, & the first thing i noticed was how fake that newslady's face looked.... EEEWWWWWW

Quite Suprise that him (or the driver?) was alive.

Just look at piece of "scrape metal" now. I mean if its a 8 .... I think we'll be dead if we even just crash at 100 MPH :(

I guess you get what you paid for :P

Ferrari = Super Fast/Quality/Cool/Expensive Machine !
