    Enzos are rare enough, to have a street sighting is somewhat of an event on this side of the pond. This however, is not the way one wants to view one :(

    The Ford Taurus looks like it has a Texas Veterans plate. Not 100% though.

    Thanks!!! This occurred in Aventura,Florida just west of I95. No, I don't think Eddie Griffin was driving this time! This driver managed to wedge the car - facing west/opposing traffic - between a light pole and a shrub, while mowing over a small palm tree.

    This occurred today? Nice reference to Eddie Griffin; him and that Enzo were/are discussed quite a bit here.

    Oh, and you forgot that it happened...

    FChat is a tough, but lovable crowd. :D

    a) Don't assume the OP is a "dude"; didn't Stephanie teach you anything???

    b) Let the OP at least get to double digit posts before you reference Carbon (aka NNO) and his obsessions in a thread. Don't frighten the newbies!

    :p

    Judging by how the front end seems to be bent up at an odd angle I'd estimate about a butt-load and a half of cash!!

    My guess is the guy let his GF or someone else drive the car and they pranged it into the poll? Depending on damage probably $25K+ to fix by the time you rework the carbon fiber.

    The real question is how much will this cost in deprecation?

    Oops. When the tires roll off those boards, the nose is in for another whack on the rollback's deck.

    Since there is no damage to the front or rear of the car - at any angle - I would think it highly unlikely that the damage was caused by the driver - more likely some idiot in a baby-hauling mini-van with a car full of brats, eating a sandwich, talking on the cell phone and texting on the i-Pad while backing up and not seeing the Enzo...

    Just an observation....

    Add a minimum of a one to the begining of that number once all is said and done. Probably going to cost more than the addition I am putting on my house.... At my income level, I'll stick to 308's where you can just buy one with a blown engine to part out for your new front end....
