I hate to say it, but at least this car was damaged doing what it was designed to do - be driven very fast. As well, it was done in a controlled environment, so we can't be mad at the person for doing something reckles on public streets....
What is 1.5M to celebs....
To wreck your own Enzo is one thing, but to wreck someone else's? How much does that have to suck!!!
I wonder who feels worse?

You don't loan your Enzo to an amateur racing event without accepting the possibility of a horrible outcome. I can only assume that if the guy has enough money to buy it, he's not terribly concerned about it. If he scraped and saved for 10 years to buy it, he'd be #@$%!, but then again, he likely wouldn't have loaned it to a racing even in that case.
Another example of too much horse power in a want-a-be race drivers hands.
Idiot.
wow..what a horrible coarse some one set up to autocross on..#@$%! why didn't eddie say " you know ...if I "F" up ...I could hit that wall "
It's all about expecting the unexpected. I'm sure they didn't expect Eddie to crank the wheel to full right lock and floor the throttle, while heading for a concrete barrier.
HAHA Oops
Hey owner...
SUCKS to be YOU!!!!!!
SUCKS to be YOU!!!!!!
Yikes I wonder if that's even salvageable. I remember seeing this on the news this morning and thought the same thing as G-MAN. What was he thinking? -_-
The owner took it pretty well, all things considered. I should have loaned Eddie my VW.
They just said on the news that it was "intentionally crashed" but it didn't look intentional to me. He wasn't even wearing a helmet!
That car was not "intentionally crashed." When they do that in the movies (ie "Ferris Bueler's Day Off" and the Ferrari Daytona) they use stand-in "kit cars", NOT the real enchilada. This guy was a fool doing what fools do and the result was the result.
I think what was meant was that it was intentionally crashed to get media attention for the movie Redline. for $1.2Million they just got free advertising on almost every news outlet. If it wasn't intentional then they just paid for the car and then some in media advertising. The way to tell would be to see if they make an insurance claim on it.
Interesting take, Lou.
Maybe we have someone here who is in the insurance industry and can tell us if a claim would even be honored seeing how the car was being driven during a practice for a "race", charity-related or not.
