The owner must be furious. Enzo's weren't even available to the public to purchase. They contacted you.

Ouch. It's like the car was magnetized to the wall. I wonder if Griffin is able to get his hands on another Enzo.

The car has to be sent to Maranello for repairs and none of the other owners will clear requests for another Enzo to be used in the race.

They'd be pretty stupid to do so. Really, there's only two reasons a car goes off the road. It can only be driver error, or mechanical failure. Even if we assume that either type of problem has exactly a 50% probability, those aren't good odds for anyone to loan another Enzo to this driver. In reality, with a car like this, the odds are probably 85% in favour of driver error. He won't get to borrow anyone else's car.

Especially since in order to purchase one, you would have to have experience in motorsport or take a competition driving course in order to handle the car.

It was a publicity stunt to promote a movie. He crashed into a wall with a cameraman standing right on the other side, who didn't flinch or jump or anything, then he was posing for pictures smiling next to the wrecked car.

From what I understand the car was owned by the director of the movie they were working on and in an interview he diddn't seem mad at all, he laughed about it.

If you're talking about the Enzo, it goes beyond that. The car wasn't available to the public. Ferrari contacted and gave invitations to people they thought were worthy of owning one.

:lol: I saw this on the news, all I could think of was when he was in Undercover Brother doing doughnuts in that car and not spilling his orange drink. I guess he can't drive so good after all.

Well, it's like these guys who ride cruser type bike and then get on a crotch rocket and wipe out with the most shocked look on their face. Why? Because they underestimated what they were riding.

I think its funny how that was the response after a post that referred to Undercover Brother.
