I'm still wondering about him losing it on a stretch that he has to have driven before. And a .09 isn't really enough to cause that kind of brain fart(I'm in no way condoning or trying to lessen the severity of his DUII). Hopefully, there will be a computer re-creation of this accident(so I can start another thread with PWN3d!!! in the title).

Alan06SUT, I believe that there were only 388-400 Enzos produced, with only(maybe) 50-60 coming to the states. This number is rough because there were a few others that were imported and maybe a couple that were exported. I know of 2 Enzos that have already been destroyed here(fire & wreck ).
Here the other ones pic. That website makes me cringe...like watching the Dukes of Hazzard wreck countless chargers or whats that movie where they wreck a real hemi cuda...Ridiculous.

So true and well put....

It's amazing how some roads at 55-75mph seem perfectly fine, but when driven in excess of 100mph you suddenly get "air" and other charming issues that you normally wouldn't see.

It's almost as if these canyon roads and other heavily used surfaces weren't designed to be raced on?

It's all typical, as several people have pointed out, it's only natural to want to enjoy our toy and push it hard. Shiet like this happens, happened and will continue to happen as long as we have our toys. Glad they survived, too bad about the car. Nobody on F-chat knew the guy, just some obscure wealthy sob.

Drty - I do the same on roads I plan on "playing" on with my motorcyle. Anything to keep the Reaper home!

I have one neighbor with a Mercedes SLR McLaren and another with two Lamborghinis. They drive them all the time -- especially the Lambos. I see him having breakfast at Hardee's and McDonald's. It's hilarious!

What? I've gone through the drive-thru in all kinds of exotics(I'm not pulling a brag session-just use your imagination)... I was hungry, bishes.

I can understand being hungry, but this guy goes there 3-4 mornings each week. I think it's just too funny seeing a bright green Gallardo next to all the construction trucks at Hardee's or the yellow one next to all the mini-vans at the McDonald's playground. I think it's mostly because his 22 yr. old wife must not know how to cook...

you sure this guy ran in to a telephone pole? looks more like he ran in to Chuck Norris

Chuck might have been out on his 50 mile morning run and gave the Enzo a spinning roundhouse kick into the pole.


Mstams, maybe he has the hots for one of the drive-thru attendants.

GeorgeSSSS 02-24-2006 06:34 PM

Reading about this guy's background, my guess is that his company was programmed for failure after paying him a huge salary. I've seen deals like this before.

wilfred 02-25-2006 04:50 PM

Apparently the huge salary was not enough to pay for his Enzo

Here are couple more articles on the guy:

Here's the same dipsh*t driving a black Enzo a couple of months before the crash:

I do like the black Enzo better than the red. Also, the black wheels are nice. Sounds like an after market exhaust.

wilfred 03-08-2006 12:55 AM

Apparently, he has possession of 2 Enzos and 1 SLR but all are being repo by the bank and all of them are illegally driven on US roads... You said it, what a dip****

The story keeps getting better. Now he's up on GTA charges.

LOS ANGELES - The Swedish video game entrepreneur involved in the 162-mph crash of a Ferrari has been arrested, accused of grand theft for an unauthorized collection of exotic cars, authorities said.

Detectives concluded that the wrecked Enzo Ferrari — one of only 400 made — along with a Mercedes and another Enzo Ferrari in Stefan Eriksson's collection were actually owned by British financial institutions, said Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Eriksson apparently brought the cars to Los Angeles when he moved from Britain last year, but the financial institutions that held the titles said his payments had lapsed. Authorities have said the $600,000 Mercedes had been reported stolen to London's Scotland Yard. The Ferrari was worth more than $1 million.

All three cars have been confiscated, and Eriksson, 44, was arrested at his Bel-Air home Saturday, Whitmore said.

He is being held without bail because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement put a hold him, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.

The Ferrari crash spun into a web of mystery when Eriksson told authorities he was only a passenger in the car and that the driver was a German acquaintance he knew only as Dietrich. He said Dietrich ran into the hills, but a search by deputies turned up no one.

Officials have questioned Eriksson's story, noting that only the driver's side air bag had blood on it and Eriksson had a cut lip. The front of the red Ferrari crumpled when it slammed into a poll on the Pacific Coast Highway on Feb. 21.

Eriksson was an executive with Gizmondo, a European video game company that filed for bankruptcy.
