Gizmondo CEO wrecks $1 million rare Ferrari

[RakuraiTenjin]

Except I don't live in the US Speed limit on the highways is something like 55-60 here.

Well if I ever want to vacation in Snailistan I'll look you up for tourist advice!

 

[Uriel]

I usually drive 75-80mph on the highways here in Minnesota. Speed limit is 65.

Muhahaha, Idaho speed limit = 75

PWNED and such...........

 

[xcellerate]

As long as it's only a stupid Ferrari that was wrecked and not the Mercedes, one good thing came from it.

I hope you're not talking about the SLR, because that's a nice car and all, but it's no enzo.

 

[Adrien C]

The SLR has much better engine, it as 612 HP with just a Super Charged v8.
And we have to admit that the enzo is quite ugly.

I wonder how and why has the dude got 2 enzos.

Ya man. You couldn't just walk up to Ferrari and be like: "I want to buy an ENZO!!" You had to write a sort of resume on every car you owned, you had to get a letter of recommendation and you had to get on their list of people who had the "right" to buy an Enzo. So I have no idea how he got two enzos.

I agree that the SLR is a better car than the Enzo...but I think most mercades are better than anything else.

My dad's cousin has a Mclaren F1. Apparently he made his fortune through child labor :/

Mercedes are great, unless they break down, then you get to enjoy trying to work with Mercedes Benz customer support and how horrid it is (or so I hear)

SLR is a REALLY fast car, but I would much rather own a DB9, it looks and sounds much more like a proper sports car, the SLR is a really fast car, but it has no real heart or emotion

holy crap

Even though you can get much more powerfull and better cars with other brands, we all know that a Ferrari is a Ferrari, buying your own basicly means you "made it" in life.
The black stallion has beatifull modells, including the new f430 ,the testarosa and slagieti.

But the Enzo for me is ugly and overrated. The typical car that if Nissan would sell it, nobody would buy it. But being a Ferrari and where only 400 people can own one and making a big stupid fuken fuss about it makes evrybody want one.
I'll take the keys to the m5 anytime before an Enzo.

Don't be idiots, the enzo would absolutly rock an SLR on a track course. Nobody cares about 0-60 or 1/4mile flat out.

But since you guys like those numbers so much, let's play the game (all taken from car and driver.com):

Top speed (redline limited, mfr’s est): 209 mph

Roadholding, skidpad: 1.05 g

70–0 mph @ impending lockup: 151 ft


Wow! The enzo has more HP, weighs less, accelerates faster, stops shorter, handles better, and does the 1/4 mile is less time! So...why do you like the SLR aside from 'looks'? Face it, the SLR is a basic mercedes that mclaren has modified into a beastly car, while the Enzo was designed from the ground up to be a ferrari track 'car'.

......f430,599,scaglieti beatifull? they look like the sons of the enzo

"I'll take the keys to the m5 anytime before an Enzo."


Bullshit you would, don't even pretend to act like you wouldn't take an enzo over an M5, the ONLY car i would take over an enzo is the veyron--which is even less likely a car i would own. There's two things an m5 does better than an enzo: carry stuff, and mpg. And even if you don't bow down before the enzo god, the car is worth multiple m5's and you would have to be stupid to at least not take an enzo and sell it and buy the car you 'really' wanted.

I think I'll stick with my Saab. It doesn't evaporate when I hit something...probably since it can't go that fast. Its a safety feature.

Man, that's so great, I'll use that quote from now on, ha, safety feature, thats great.:thumbs:

The Enzo is just like any other Ferrari car...ugly looking and shit. Sure it may go fast, but if you fired shit out of a cannon, it'd go fast. The SLR might not be as fast as the Enzo, but it's definately a much nicer car. But then, who gives a shit about either car when you can get a DB9 or a Jaguar - both have lots of style, lots of class, are fast and people don't look at you and think "what a pathetic gay prick, i bet he plays football for some shit premiereship football team as he's too retarded to stack shelves".

Face it, if you have style and class, you don't buy a Ferrari. If you're a loser who plays football for a living as you're too stupid to stack shelves at the local supermarket, you buy a Ferrari.

 

[xcellerate]

please don't make statements you aren't going to backup. "the enzo is ugly looking and shit"

First off, the first part is an opinion; I think the enzo is an extremely hot car, second, if the enzo is such 'shit' then how come the only thing the SLR does better than it is mpg?

You need to get off your ****ing brand name high horse, i suppose you wouldn't buy an Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Seat, older porsche, skoda, or bugatti since they're all VW right?

So is your your argument: "people will think you're a gay prick because you drive a ferrari, therefore ferraris are all shit?"

Thats the most stupid shit I heard today.

this is getting weirder by the minute:

*UPDATE*

""The car's owner, Stefan Eriksson, a former video game executive from Sweden, told Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies who responded to last Tuesday's accident in Malibu that he was "deputy commissioner" of the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority police anti-terrorism unit, detectives said Thursday."

Uh... what? Apparently, this obscure Transit Authority, which has its own .gov website, has a uniformed police force, much to the concern of some local L.A. officials, and: "two unidentified men arrived at the scene on Pacific Coast Highway [just after the accident], flashing badges and saying they were from "homeland security," according to sheriff's department officials." Now, police want to question _them_."

"according to Wrecked Exotics: "[Eriksson's apparent passenger] "Trevor" had asked a motorist who stopped after the crash if he could use a cellphone. "Trevor" used the cellphone while sitting in the motorist's car. After "Trevor" left the vehicle, the motorist discovered [a] gun clip stuffed in the crevice of the seat." Aw, why couldn't it have been a modified Gizmondo gun instead?"


plus there's an aerial view of the crash

how the hell did he survive that crash?

people who drive ferraris say its the best thing ever, the feel, the sound, interiors, everything. its not shit **** you bitches if u say that
