More info... amazing.

"A Ferrari Enzo owner, that many know in the Ferrari circuit, lost control of his Enzo last week in a Utah LEGAL Road Rally. Mr. Loose has been featured in many Road & Track articles over the years but the most notiable has been from a few years back where they test drove an Enzo that the buyer has just picked up. This happened to be Mr. Loose." - from another board/member. The story from Mr. Loose is as follows:

"Richard was going close to 200mph, and hit a bump in the road that sent him airborne. The car rolled 7 times and was flat as a pancake. Fortunately he was wearing a helmet. He has cracked vertebrae in his neck and back, 4 broken ribs, broken sternum, some broken fingers, and the only surgery he made need is on his thumb. Nothing life threatening. He is refusing pain medication because he thinks he needs to be punished!" - From a Friend of Richard's

"The road rally, organized by Larry Miller's Miller Motorsports Park for the Honoring Heroes Foundation, raises money to help families of UHP troopers killed or injured in the line of duty. UHP clocks the drivers' speeds and gives them "speeding tickets," the "fines" from which go to charity. Drivers also fork over $5,000 to participate."


that was taken from the article...

and this too...

"The 30 cars, with a UHP escort, then drove to Park City, Duchesne and Price before heading south through Torrey, Escalante and St. George. On Wednesday, the drivers headed north to Salt Lake City, where the cars went on display at the Gallivan Center. McCleve explained the money raised from the rally and an auction will go to the Honoring Heroes Foundation, which will then give it to families of 14 troopers killed on the job. Families of injured troopers also will get funds.

In addition, the rally assists rural communities and students. The towns of Duchesne, Torrey, Escalante, Price and Delta, along with Tooele County, each received $5,000 for student scholarships and money for civic-improvement projects."

Stop defending filthy rich people. That's what their high priced lawyers are for. One of life's teeny tiny joys is making fun of those who squander ludicrous sums of money doing dumb things. Stop taking our joy Dave. You might get away with that crazy talk on your richy rich yachting forums but here in VWville there is no love lost for Enzo crashing playboys. :p

hahahahahaha

Also, if you read the article, you would know that the road was quite dippy. He probably hit a series of dips and the car went airborne/sideways. After that it was over.

Just because he crashed a (difficult to handle) supercar doesn't mean he can't drive. How often have you seen professional race car drivers crash? Never? I thought so.

The owner of this enzo based Ferrari P4/5 by pininfarina paid $5M +. It's the only one in existance. Imagine what it will be worth in 50 years.

The sultan of Brunei has like 6 custom Pinninfarina cars.

OK, you may be right about that. Maybe he can't drive. But you really don't know. If you read TFA, you'd see that the guy grew up an enthusiast. Not to mention that he's logged tens of thousands of miles in his Enzo. Makes mentions of Ferrari contacting him to give a make-a-wish ride for some kid at Laguna Seca.

Maybe the guy actually knows how to drive. Maybe, considering he had what the article states as possibly the highest milage enzo in the world, it's possible that he had a mechanical failure.

Seems more likely than the guy not having enough skill to keep his car in a straight line.

i bet it was because he was wearing pink lace panties.

Huh, funny, that's mostly what I thought. Actually, the term "piker" was closer.

Just because you can afford a superdupermegaexpensive car to make up for other inadequacies doesn't mean that you can drive said superdupermegaexpensive car within a fraction of its capabilities. He ran out of road before he ran out of brains.

I just can't figure out how someone could lose control and demolish a Ferrari at only 100 mph. Wanker.

:ohsnap:

The problem with an Enzo is what do you do to it after you buy it? I enjoy modifing stuff.

Drive it like you stole it (on a track)... and try not to crash.
