You know you have too much money when you have a car worth millions and then proceed to drive it like an idiot and crash it.

No.
At the most 2 million, they have a base price of $1,000,000 and a waiting list of about 2 - 3 years to get one of the things, there is a place here in Calgary called ZR Auto Sales that sold one last year for $1,500,000 anyways expensive car that people with to much money buy and apperently crash....worst part is he might have been on a 2 year waiting list to buy the bloody thing from Ferrari.

In any case.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a dipshit!

As posted over here:

The car did its job. The way the enzo is engineered is that it has a carbon fibre monocaque tub which integrates the front suspension, body, cabin as one structural unit. Behind the cabin its a tubular chassis.. well sort of. The rear suspension & transmission housing are one unit. this is connected to the cabin via the tubes, which are bolted to the carbon tub. By far this is the weakest point on the car, because bolt's threads aren't as strong as solid carbon or aluminum. We had a Star Mazda car crash at Pike's Peak oval over the summer, and the same thing happened (cars constructed in similar manners). The engine, tranny, rear suspension all tore off while the tub just skidded. Good engineering work. Luckily the guy lived.

they have been selling in the US for upwards of 2.6 million, because you CAN't get one anymore... if you want one now, you have to buy it used, been that way for quite some time. they only made a set numbre of them, which were all sold before the first one was shipped... BTW full original list was 650,000 pounds.

I saw this posted on another forum and there was even a message copy/pasted from a guy who was there.

[rumours]
Anyways, the guy tried to say that someone else was driving the car even though his face was bloodied and the only blood found in the car was on the drivers side airbag.

Apparently he also blew a 0.9 BAC... at 6:30 in the morning...
