And a .09 isn't really enough to cause that kind of brain fart(I'm in no way condoning or trying to lessen the severity of his DUII). Hopefully, there will be a computer re-creation of this accident(so I can start another thread with PWN3d!!! in the title ).
Alan06SUT, I believe that there were only 388-400 Enzos produced, with only(maybe) 50-60 coming to the states. This number is rough because there were a few others that were imported and maybe a couple that were exported. I know of 2 Enzos that have already been destroyed here(fire & wreck  ).

Here the other ones pic. That website makes me cringe...like watching the Dukes of Hazzard wreck countless chargers or whats that movie where they wreck a real hemi cuda...Ridiculous.

So true and well put....
It's amazing how some roads at 55-75mph seem perfectly fine, but when driven in excess of 100mph you suddenly get "air" and other charming issues that you normally wouldn't see.
It's almost as if these canyon roads and other heavily used surfaces weren't designed to be raced on? 
It's all typical, as several people have pointed out, it's only natural to want to enjoy our toy and push it hard. Shiet like this happens, happened and will continue to happen as long as we have our toys. Glad they survived, too bad about the car. Nobody on F-chat knew the guy, just some obscure wealthy sob. |

Drty - I do the same on roads I plan on "playing" on with my motorcyle. Anything to keep the Reaper home!

I have one neighbor with a Mercedes SLR McLaren and another with two Lamborghinis. They drive them all the time -- especially the Lambos. I see him having breakfast at Hardee's and McDonald's. It's hilarious! |

I can understand being hungry, but this guy goes there 3-4 mornings each week. I think it's just too funny seeing a bright green Gallardo next to all the construction trucks at Hardee's or the yellow one next to all the mini-vans at the McDonald's playground. I think it's mostly because his 22 yr. old wife must not know how to cook... |

Chuck might have been out on his 50 mile morning run and gave the Enzo a spinning roundhouse kick into the pole.
Mstams, maybe he has the hots for one of the drive-thru attendants. |

Reading about this guy's background, my guess is that his company was programmed for failure after paying him a huge salary. I've seen deals like this before.
