Idiot Allows Another To Drive $1.5 Millon Dollar Car

Completely off topic, but I thought I would comment on it anyways. Actor Eddie Griffin crashed a $1.5 million dollar Enzo Ferrari. The car belonged to the executive producer of his upcoming film. The car was totaled in my opinion. Yes, you can probably fix the damage, but you know that the car has been in an accident, therefore, depreciates the value tremendously.

Let me explain something to you all. I have a 300hp Honda CRX project car. The car still needs about $10,000 worth of upgrades before I'm "done". That car is MY car. No one drives it, not even my wife. If I owned a Ferrari of that caliber, you can bet that I wouldn't allow Mario Andretti to drive it. I share a lot of things of mine with a lot of people, but there are a few things I share with no one. My CRX is one of them and this guy should have known that it was a possibility that the car could come back in pieces.

That being said, I am glad Eddie is ok. The Ferrari Enzo has one of the most advanced, state of the art safety systems in any car on the planet. That is why the other Ferrari Enzo crash that you heard of, where the car was literally ripped in two pieces by the 160mph+ crash, the driver walked away.

Link goes to the video of the crash.
