Saw this on Headline news this morning too.

The biggest moron is the person who set up the autox that close to a jersey barrier.

High powered car, inexperienced driver and a wall to hit if you miss a corner is going to be a recipe for disaster

Maybe we should keep score. Which car has the most crashes? Enzo vs. Porsche Carrera GT....rich boys breaking their toys.

Never heard of the guy. How much of a "celebrity" is he?

Well...now he has more material to use in his act.

Expect Eddie to create lots of Ferrari jokes with a
self-deprecating racial twist to them like...
"never let a brother like me drive a Ferrari"

ha ha..

Perhaps he will make a $million to buy the car back.

OK here we go its starting already according to Wikipedia:

"When asked by reporters his reaction to the crash, Griffin laughed and exclaimed, "Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive".

I think the car belonged to the movie producer. Follow me for a second An Enzo is worth $1,500,000.
Producer tells actor/buddy to go and push it. Car gets crashed. The bill will be probably be in the hundreds of thousand... less than $1.5m though.

But every single car forum is talking abt this. This is a car related movie, right? Lots of exposure right where you wanted.
Plus CNN, MSN, Fox etc are reporting the story. It's all over the web...

So it could be a publicity stunt. I am not saying the guy said to go ahead and wreck the car... But I think they are not that sad....

It is a shame if you are a car enthusiast because it means one less Enzo around.

Personally i wouldn't go so hard on the actor. He was probably never given any training and told to push it... Stuff happens.. I had my share of excursions...
