So I got to sit in an Enzo today @ work -PICS-

So I live in Santa Monica, CA and I work at the local airport. It's the "celebrity airport" and with that comes nice planes, chasing away paparazzi, and niiiiice cars. This one guy (not a celeb just too much $$$) just bought an Enzo, drove it from Vegas, and let me sit in it and take pics. Sorry bout any issues with the pics i took them in a hurry so as not to disturb him or his detailers too long. You'll notice that the back bumper was poorly repaired recently and has painters tape holding it together and the front lip has a crack. On his way here from Vegas he was driving really fast on I-15 and lost it, spun out, and cleared the surrounding desert of some shrubs. Youch, but anyways, the Countach is also his and the first pic is me in the rear view mirror. =P Enjoy ^.^





If ya'll want more pics just say so, I figure this is a good start. He's got a hangar full of nice cars; DB9, GT3, old school lambo (i dunno what it is just has a huuuge scoop on the hood), Vette, my favorite: Black Carrera GT, and more. @.@

That's freaking awesome!

I must ask though: What is up with people with too much money and Enzo's crashing them or losing control or what not?!?! I thought the Enzo was supposed to handle well...haha

If you can afford an Enzo, you can also afford to take some racing/driving courses so you dont have to have a Ferrari's bumper fixed half-arsed with some painters tape.

If you've got that much money, you can afford not to care what plebs on the internet think of your driving skills.

Between 800k-1million. There have been two auctions where an Enzo went over 1.2million.

Countach
Any 'real' countach has the v shaped wing that slows the car down but makes it look a hell of a lot better.
