Not the first and won't be the last

You would think if you can afford an Enzo or Mercedes-McLaren you'd be able to afford the track.

Just last week I was taking a ride up to the mall from school through the backroads and was behind a Mercedes-McLaren SLR for a couple blocks. You definately don't see super cars like that in my area everyday. I was

Saw that on the news this morning. All they said was that it was a Ferrari. There were a few guys up close looking at the wreckage.

I guess if your going to wreck an Enzo, 120 mph is easier to swallow. I wonder if the Mclaren was in front?? Thats a pretty straight road at Decker, no curves headed south for several miles, and about 1.5 miles farther north, she starts to bend alittle.....been up and down that area of PCH 1.5 million times.....lol
And Ive never seen a Enzo in site, however I did see a Carerra GT yesterday in my lil ol town.......

Turns out the police think there was no other driver besides Stefan...I wonder how such a fool made enough money to buy one?

Yep, I saw that on the news this morning too.
At least the poor guy wasn't killed.

Remember Dennis Barnhart of Eagle Computer?
Crashed his Ferrari and killed himself on the day of his company's IPO - may God rest his soul. But a Valley legend was born.

Well, you can't buy common sense and people who are successful in one area often think they're automatically gonna be competent in some other, unrelated, area (like car control). That's why they call 'em "doctor killers".

I could I have sworn I read in C&D when it first came out that there were only 390 made worldwide and that the states only got 90 or something like that.
