Not a good day for Eddie Griffin

Ghoulish Delight · 03-27-2007, 08:56 AM

This may not have the intrigue of the Stefan Eriksson Ferrari crash, but it does have video. Comedian Eddie Griffin, driving in a charity event at Irwindale Speedway, lost control and totaled a $1.5 million Enzo. Oops.

Yeah...I saw a clip of it on Entertainment Tonight.

I'd sure hate to be the OWNER of that car!

I'd had to be the INSURER. They don't make those anymore. Everybody who owns one just saw their value go up.

On the bright side, Eddie Griffin finally made me laugh.

Yeah, and I was hearing someone talk about the value going up considerably.

I talked to a friend of mine, and he said that if the damage is significant, Ferrari won't sell them any repair parts. The front end is all carbon fiber. If it was able to be repaired, the history would follow the vehicle and significantly reduce any resale value (it's a small car world after all).

Ahh... I didn't mean to make it sound like I was talking about the value of the totaled Enzo going up. I meant the remaining Ferrari Enzos in the world - their values just jumped by the tens of thousands. Isn't it something like 397 left? I can't remember now...

I don't know who Eddie Griffin is, but "brother can't drive" is sure to end up being quoted over and over again.

According to the article I read the owner has already said it's totaled.
