what an idiot...

From what i've seen and heard, the damage is repairable. Despite the fact that the Enzo has a monocoque tub, Ferrari did realise that not everyone who drives an Enzo will have Schumacher-esque skill, so they designed it with removable carbon fibre crash structures in the front and rear. My understanding is that the Enzo has been sent to Maranello for a thorough inspection and to ensure there are no cracks in the actual tub of the car. I have heard of a few Enzo's being in some crashes where the front was just as bad as this one and being fully repaired and back on the track. I think only a couple have been completley written off, one because there was a death in the car and the other because it burned to the ground.

Another conspiracy, Ciro?

Actually, there we4re 349 Enzo's built. Minus the one on PCH and this one, plus one I've seen locally with a shortened nose, thats 346 left. How many more dumbasses have torn up their cars worldwide?

If the repair bill goes to $100k, even $200k, that would be *extremely* cheap by movie publicity standards. Even Cartoon Network was fined $2M lately for guerilla marketing gone wrong in Boston.

Is there a consensus that the car is a writeoff? It looks like repairable damage.

I don't think that you can ever fix this car. I'm not sure that Ferrari would have even stamped out those panels (hood, fenders, etc.) and even if they did, I doubt that the handling will ever be the same...not to mention that, as good as the technology is these days, the new paint will NEVER match the rest of the car. Perhaps you can "fix it" to look, somewhat, decent, but I doubt that that will ever be the same car.

1 315 000 € car crashed. Record beaten! To beat that now I suppose you have to crash an F22 raptor at least... what a waste

He has several friends around the world:

Sample:

You crash your girlfriend Bentley. News: surrounded by reporters. Fark1Technical: you crash on the back of a standing truck after moving the car barely 3 meters, your girlfriend is Paris Hilton and you were (probably) drunk.

Ted, did you notice they did not issued a ticket? Mmmmm... I wonder why. Could it be another cover up?

Finally, the misfortune of someone can be your fortune:

One less 2003 Porsche 911 Cabriolet in the world. On California 241 toll-road, a 21-year-old college cheerleader driving her fathers car at an estimated 140+ mph clipped the tail of a car she tried to pass and slammed into a toll booth. Her head was split in half vertically by the A-pillar, I declined to post those photos.

As a cheerleader, she must have been an appealing woman... in fact they're a-peeling her off the road

Liquor and whores!

I guess why's your hero: "If you love something, set if free. If it comes back, then it's yours. If it doesn't, then it never was."

It's French-Canadian. Have you ever had it? It's a fantastic thing if you don't mind clogging up your arteries.

Do ya think?! I'll have to confirm with our resident 14-year-old Illuminati expert, should he actually get out of bed this morning, if the Hiltons are one of the 13 families. I can't keep that stuff straight.

But being reptilian could explain Paris' long slender body.

And perhaps this is her on the verge of a shape-shift. She definitely looks to be on the verge of something...

The Ferrari sold at auction for $401,000.00 and the Lambo was on Ebay at around $40,000.00.
