wow... interesting read...

some got it (money), some don't (skill and good judgement)

 

More money than brains... especially when he was warned about the whoop-dee-doo's...

... and what the hell is "it's just a car"??? No.. the Enzo isn't "just" a car. It's "THE" car. If I were Ferrari, I wouldn't let him own another one, regardless of price... and what the hell are "custom doors"?.. and who chops the top off an "orange" Enzo????

Does all that sound weird to anyone but me?

 

Entertaining read, thanks sndwave.

 

Money: 1
Good Judgement: 0

I'd say he suffers from rectal-cranial inversion, but I don't know the man so I shouldn't pass judgement .

 

I'd recommend the very last statement.

From what I know of this man, he was extensively trained by Ferrari, Drove his Enzo like it was meant to be driven, and probably is the worlds most qualified driver of this car. I also understand that he had the most miles on an Enzo of any in the world and didn't just display it as a trophy like most Enzo owners do.

It was an unfortunate accident. And Kudos to Mr. Losee who drove his car like it was designed to be driven.

 

Either way, he's alive and like he said, "it's just a car".

 

Hmm, I guess we are down to 398 on the Enzo's. Just goes to prove. Being able to afford the car doesn't necessarily mean you should be driving it. What a maroon.

 

There's less than 398.. (see link below)

.. and I'm having a hard time believing that he's a truely "accomplished" driver. Anyone who chops the top off his Enzo because he want's to feel the wind in his hair, seriously compromising the integrity of the Enzo chassis and ridgidity, and still thinks that he's going to hit 200mph on a public road doesn't sound like he makes the most sound decisions. Especially when it's life that he's playing with.

I don't know the guy either, but there's no lack of reasons why he shouldn't have doing anything close to the speed he was doing. I'm assuming that he didn't have a co-pilot.. because his cojones must have been riding shotgun.. Or.. maybe he had to shop the top off because his head was so big it wouldn't fit in the cockpit.. just an observation.

Nope we're down to at least 397 because that guy in California crashed an Enzo on the PCH. Sad times. I've seen Losee's Enzo before at an autoshow in Utah. Don't know the family personally but they are pretty prominent the area, as the article mentions they own a bunch of Ferraris. There's also a guy my grandma knows in Springville Utah that owns a Carerra GT, but it doesn't sound like he participated...

 

That is what I said. 400 built. One died in Malibu. One died in Utah. 398 left.

 

Oh, the article said 399 made, but maybe they meant 399 existing... guess it doesn't really matter...

 

Yea when I heard he was modding his Enzo I was like, WTH! IMO Ferraris are cars you just don't mess with, they are like works of art. You wouldn't take a great painting and add a few more elements yourself because you didn't exactly like the way the artist made it...

 

.. Sorry.. , there were 400 produced but I don't think that Pope John Paul II will be selling his anytime soon.. ; - )

Somehow I can't imagine the Pope ever trying to get it up to 200mph

 

Ferrari's new slogan..

"Ferrari, the "espress lane" to God."

 

Hmmmm....wonder if the NC/TN state troopers would do the same thing (close 129 to non-MINIs) for a MOTD event next May!?

I can dream, can't I?

 

Why would the Pope try to get it up? <Insert rim shot.>

 

Besides, John Paul II is in heaven, so it's moot...

 

Wait, so I noticed in the article that the SLR McLaren driver is from Utah too. So there's an SLR McLaren, Carrera GT, AND an Enzo (well not anymore...) in UTAH? Pretty good considering that overall Utah isn't exactly a sports car mecca. I've spent over half my life there and most of the time I only saw cheap Japanese and American cars. Even seeing a BMW was a rare treat, but its been getting better in the last few years...
