    I was @ F of Denver earlier today and in for service was an enzo. All of the rear of the car was taken off. A fresh engine was just put in as well and the old one was sitting on the floor. One of the service guys said there was a problem w the valves and it blew a hole in one of the intakes.

    Wow, the Enzo is STILL there!

    I went down there towards the end of March and there were two Enzos in there, one was just sitting there and one was up on the lift, back off, engine being worked on. Went back a little while later.....STILL THERE! I cant belive that thing hasnt moved.

    That repair bill will be as much as the Enzo itself!

    Imagine the look on the tow truck drivers face. Hope it was a flatbed :)

    and the service guy told me that the enzo was bought out of state so the dealership didnt do anything for him (in picking him up or getting the car towed for him)
