Enzzzoooooooo
BOOM!!!
"This was no ordinary car, or car crash. Ferrari reportedly made only 400 of the dazzlingly impractical, gull-winged Enzos, worth $1 million and up. With 660-horsepower, V-12 engines and a sleek, road-hugging profile, they look and drive like UFOs with wide tires."
"The deputies estimated that Eriksson's red Enzo had been tooling along at about 160 mph (far from its top speed) when it apparently careered off the road and slid sideways onto the banked shoulder, where it was sheared in two, just behind the driver's seat, after slamming into a concrete utility pole."
The pictures speak for themselves:

Now to make things more interesting:
"Eriksson showed the deputies an ID saying he was head of an anti-terrorism police unit, as did two other friends who arrived after the crash."
...
"What deputies did not know at the time was that Karney had asked the driver of another car that had pulled over if he could borrow a cell phone. Karney sat in the front seat to place his call, Brooks said, and the driver later contacted police with a startling discovery: A fully loaded Glock handgun clip was jammed under his front seat.
"When police contacted Karney at the address he had given, they found out it was a luxury yacht -- which had just sailed. The police believe Karney left the country for Ireland.
When they checked out the "Homeland Security" IDs, the police made another odd discovery. Eriksson was a member of a security force for the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority -- a nonprofit organization that used some vans and buses to provide free rides for the elderly and disabled and operated out of a garage called Homer's Auto Service."
There is a lot to it:

Maybe not Ferrari, but a spokesperson for the Ferrari Club.

It is all the surrounding story that makes this particular crash interesting. I could care less about the enzo..it is just a car after all.
