Default a bad day for an enzo & its driver...

Car: 2004 Ferrari Enzo

Description: 41 year old driver was killed after losing control of his Enzo at 150 MPH. The impact was so great that it tore the car into several pieces. Locals reported having seen and heard an Enzo being driven very hard the day before. Most likely it was the same car. Accident happened on October 30th, 2005.

It sometimes takes a tragedy like this to realize how dangerous reckless driving is. This driver, who was able to afford a 1 million dollar car, lost his life to a careless decision.

Location: Milan, Italy

This is an excellent example of why driving really fast on public roads is STUPID! The fortunate thing here is that this dummy didn't kill someone else in the process.

If you want to go fast, go to the track! Once you see how cast you can really go there, you'll have less inclination to do stupid stuff on the street.

AMEN BROTHER!!! I spent more than 11 years in Germany at 250+ km's an hour every chance I got. Fast to me is over 140 MPH which would result in jail time; I am not built for prison! No need for speed here.

Lastly...will that buff out? :-)

You guys are missing the point, I pretty sure he swerved to avoid a racoon or a various rodent of sorts, he was an animal activist, not his fault.

The last two days I spent in Germany driving the Crossfire at top speed several times. But only when the conditions were ok. Good is that people are used to high speed driving cars. It really works fine. And if the autobahn is in bad condition or risky for traffic jam there are speed limits.

If a brainless kills himself - sad for the family/friends and ugly for the others to clean up! But innocents involved in such an accident - that's tragic...

Drive safe ... mind the others!

Without the wheels remaining on the axles, it may have been difficult figuring out what the car was.

UPDATE: I found out the actual truth about the wreck. He was avoiding our dear ol' ratboy.
