New Ferrari for Dad $1,000,000 Daughter borrows Dad's new car to try out...... and hits Power Pole at 200 MPH! The driver only had some bruising (seat belt) and 2 small cuts. Car loss? $1 Million bucks! Waiting list for a new one? 2 years. When can daughter drive Dad's car again? Next lifetime. When will kid not be grounded and see the light of day? Same day the polar ice caps melt. But she is still alive.... Priceless................ Car only had 9 miles on it !................. One mile of it was during the wreck. Some people have more dollars than sense! (BTW, I think this is on Pacific Coast Highway in Mailbu, CA just west of Pepperdine University)
Well, as go as this story is, I did some investigating and found this link: Ferrari Enzo Crash in Malibu Amazing how folks have to embellish stuff.... The real story is even MORE interesting!
Here's an applicable quote: "The problem with 'facts' on the internet is that it is difficult to verify their authencity."--Abraham Lincoln.
Oh i heard about this story to be honest if i owned a ferrari Enzo like that i wouldnt even dream of letting my kids near it well.....i wouldnt be around at all with it id be seeing how fast i could go on the autobahns in germany
Yeah I read this story back when it first happened. I read the real story first, the one that texson posted. Not as bad as that actor (name escapes me) who crashed one during filming of a movie. Then again, anyone who'd spend a million clams on a rocket with doors gets what they deserve.
I like the fact that that car had suicide doors on it ;-)) PS, Daddy, if your reading this? I want TWO of these Cars please :lol: :lol:
Those are technically "scissor" doors, not "suicide" doors. Suicide doors open from the front and open toward the rear since they are hinged at the rear, while "scissor" doors are hinged at the front and open up and forward. But still great looking doors, even if they are very difficult for most people to access. A case of "looks" over-coming functionality. And I would'nt throw away the keys to one of those if I found them under my Christmas tree either!
Hi Clint, thanks for the correction ;-II I had forgot about them being hinged the other way-as like on Gangsters Cars from back in their day ;-)) I woudlnt nid a set of keys to one of those under by Christmas tree either ;-))
Carl, what I would be interested in knowing is how this one guy got ahold of two of the 400 Enzo's made? Even if he did so illegally, getting two to a single person is quite a feat of some kind.
Most likely he bribed someone with loads of money? :-D I'd rather use an MP-40 for that purpose ;-)) and it wouldn't cost me a dime either ;-))
Two words. Mafia Connections Not hard to get two of these when you have money to back it up. Doesn't matter if only 400 made...the right price is the right price!
How the h*ll can one import two registred stolen cars with the original registered plates still on them??? Blind customs??? or money talks?? Seems its not just the crash thats incredible lol
