This Will Be Painful To Watch For Car Lovers

for everyone

Eddie Griffin, a clearly underrated actor from such marvellous films as Undercover Brother and Norbit, did something horrible a couple of days ago. When taking part in a charity racing event on Monday, he managed to total a Ferrari Enzo. One of the 400 Ferrari Enzos in existence. Valued at $1.5 million. Dollars. $1.5 million dollars worth of car rendered junk by the sheer uselessness of Eddie Griffin.

So does he follow the owner around begging for forgiveness? Does he drop to his knees and pledge his life in servitude? Does he even apologise? Does he fuck. To quote the idiot - "Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive."

I think the wonderful site, the superficial.com summed it up best - "If Eddie Griffin crashed my Ferrari Enzo the next day's headlines would read "Eddie Griffin strangled to death and then stabbed and then shot a couple times by angry Enzo owner." Although that'd be kind of a long headline. They could use a small font or something."

In Eddie Griffin's defence, it is at least in part the owner's fault for giving a Ferrari Enzo to Eddie Griffin. I mean, that was just stupid. The closest thing to a Ferrari that I own is a 5 year old bicycle, and I'd still trust that to a drunk chimpanzee than I would anyone who refers to themselves as 'Undercover Brother'

Torque and joiks don't mix.

"Undercover brother may be good at karate and all that, but the brother can't drive." -- Leadfoot Eddie, after the crash.

If I were a caring, sensitive person, I'd say, "Well, the important thing is that nobody got hurt." But I'm not, and I'd sell my own mother to have a car like that. Had that been my car, you'd all be reading Eddie Griffin's obituary right about now.

Tosser. It's not even as if he clipped it while doing a very tricky maneouver, he just drove it into a wall. I wouldn't lend him my zippo - he'd probably set fire to it.

Pretty cheap advance publicity for the movie "Redline", though. Story has played two nights in a row on every major network in every major market in prime time plus the internet videoplays. That might have been worth a Ferrari in the long run.

You fool! You can't go around suggesting people should start driving Ferraris into walls for publicity! The Tifosi'll come and castrate you!1!<B>ONE

Perhaps, but I'd really rather not believe that someone would be enough of a dickhead to total another bloke's limited edition dream car for publicity.

What the heck was he doing in there while that wall was coming up IN PLAIN VIEW?

No no no. You realize, now, that Ferrari refused to lend itself to placement in "Pretty Woman", so Lotus ended up taking the drive.

Erm. I can't think of a 'women who haven't driven a Ferrari shouldn't be driving at all' joke.

Doubtful that it's "totalled", looking at the damage. The front end is banged up but the cabin and drivetrain are unaffected..

I guess Eddie now knows what understeer is about? The trouble with supercars is that they are often owned or driven by dickheads who don't know enough about driving to warrant owning or driving one. I'm a reasonably good driver but I wouldn't considered myself capable of safely punting an Enzo around a racetrack. I've got too much respect for the effects the "loud pedal" produces when you push it down too hard.
