Say it people 1.5.....MILLION.......dollars. If I was Daniel Sadek, the executive producer of the movie (AND OWNER OF THE CAR) I sure the hell wouldn't put my head in my hands talking about I'm glad he's ok, there's worse things happening in the world! I'd demand his right hand and sell the damn thing on e-bay! Just after I slapped him up-side his head with it.

You'd have to question the lack of common sense in the guy who thought that was a "Cool idea".

Whether it was the owner of the car, or the guy video taping it...apparently you can't buy common sense on E-Bay.

yeah it didnt look like he was going very fast at all. i drove a corvette Z06 which is prolly about 80% as fast as the Enzo on a cone course and i didnt even chirp the tires (you werent allowed) but I was flying through the course.

What a goofball. but seriously, if you got enough dough to own a bunch of Ferrari's (which I believe you have to just to be in consideration for an Enzo) and then you get an Enzo on top of that, you're doing ok.

Seriously though if you let a comedian take a spin in your 1.5 million dollar car you kind of have it coming. Might as well lend it to a bus full of blind kids to take to the supermarket...

Personally I'm pretty convinced this is a publicity stunt. Like you say he's not going all that fast so I doubt there's serious structural damage to the car (however impressive it looks that's mostly fibreglass) and it was at a charity even with press and photographers present which is more than a little convenient. If this ended up across the board on the news then thats a lot of cheap publicity f0r a film which frankly no-one had heard of beforehand...

Plus look at the way he steers. if he was fully out of control wouln'd he be more likely to lock the steering and skid sideways into the wall? But the steering is no way near locked and the brakes aren't even close to fully down. It's pretty easily avoidable at that speed even for a novice.

Why was he driving anyways? Couldn't get a stunt driver?
