Exclamation Enzo crash!!

Apparantly the man died on impact. Some 41 year old rich fellow. Not sure of the cause or how it happened. Feel bad for the family.

Well, judging from the damage, the a$$hole was probably doing around 200 mph and flipped the car. I'm very happy that he/she only killed himself and nobody else.

It seems that he just simply lost control. Maybe a tire blow out?? Who knows. No other cars were around as it was early morning.

It seems that a lot of Ferraris break in half right down the middle when they get into major accidents. Just look around the internet and you will see what I am talking about. Common fault??

Well, judging from the pictures, the driver must've been going way too fast. Drivers like that endanger others on the road, and its a good thing when they only kill themseves.

How about the *******s that are in your favorite brand, Honda in riced out RSXs and Civics and pretty much the whole lineup that TRY to get the cars to 200mph all the torque of a damn hamster.

I'd rather take my chances with a guy in an Enzo, which is rare as hell ANYWAY, then the daily commute to work with the asshats with a 10 foot wing and some V-Tech stickers that THINK they drive an Enzo.

Rich Guy in Enzo that went out like a champ=Cool
Riced out tools in your favorite brand that drive like chumps=Fool

I for instance do not care what kind of car an a$$hole is driving, be it a ferrari or a honda. If that a$$hole was to, god forbid, kill an innocent bystander, would it really matter whether it was a ferrari or a honda?

Three years ago a rich guy in a porsche killed a family of three a few blocks from where I live. Is he still cool because he "drove like a chump at 120 mph" on a public road?

What I am saying is why are we picking on him b/c he has a Ferrari and now the rich guy in the Porsche.
PEOPLE IN ALL SORTS OF CARS HAVE ACCIDENTS.

As a matter of fact, looking at statistics, one is happening right now.

I don't see why not just you, but people in general lash out at the rich when they get in an accident in an expensive car.

I think I am going to post accidents of people in Civics, and Kias and TOyotas and see if people say "that poor/middle class ******* just killed someone"

Or how do we NOT KNOW it was a TRUE accident? As Mags stated, maybe a blowout?

No you getting it all wrong. I understand that accidents happen, and they happen to rich people, poor people, and most of all to middle class. I have no problems with honest accidents, they can happen to anybody, this is just how life works.

I do however have a problem with people driving too fast, too agressivery, and too stupid. It doesn't matter whether they are rich, or poor or middle class. What matters is that their driving causes accidents, and in many cases innocent people suffer.

As far as this particular accident? Judging from the damage, the guy was doing well over 100, which is something he shouldn't have done in the first place. Yes, it might have been a blowout, these things happen to everybody, but it doesn't matter what caused the accident. What matters is that at these speeds an accident is sure to be deadly. If he was doing 60 mph, all he would need is a new tire.

I see no need to call him an ahole either. I think he's already paid the ultimate price for his mistake. just a bad situation. hopefully no one else was hurt.

man did that car explode though
