    Painful, indeed.... :cry:

    If that were me, I'd actually get out and cry, on the car - and apologize to it.

    "I'm glad Eddie came out of the crash OK but my dream car got destroyed," he said.

    "I went to my trailer for about 15 minutes and I thought, there's people dying every day. A lot of worse things are happening in the world."

    Only 400 Ferrari Enzos have ever been produced, all between 2002 and 2004.

    I'm sure he was more mad than he was glad. Poor cars. They're an endangered species!!

    lol he didnt know how to drive stick...completly. apparently when he came to that turn he went to pop the clutch and hit the brake, but miss judged and instead of hitting break, pushed the clutch in again....simple mistake, just not one when your driving a million dollar car (it was a special edition one)

    it wasn't a special edition, it was just a regular enzo. And buy just a regular enzo, i mean it's really expensive.

    and too bad it doesn't have a clutch pedal.

    I'm very skeptical that producer Daniel Sadek didn't "arrange" for that to happen. That guy has gotten at least 1.5M worth of pub already about that crash. It has been on every news station in the country. Not just a puff finishing piece but with an intro and a sew up by the anchors. His name, the movie, and it's release date were all mentioned during Houstons telecast.
    He's already lost a Porsche Carrera GT in filming but I think he will make much more than his 26M investment.

    Especially since I will be the first in line to see it and probably the first in line to buy the DVD

    He said that he hit the clutch instead of the brake, those were his exact words... so then he is lieing if supposedly there is no clutch pedal

    I didn't see where he said he hit the clutch? But like I said, there isn't one. Just paddles, F1 like.
