Eddie Griffin crashes a Ferrari at Irwindale Speedway

OK, I think everyone has seen this in the news or on the net, but it still kills me…

This is the track that I used to race at and I will be helping out a rookie this year as the crew cheif…:rolleyes:

it was a kit car and a publicity stunt. Still was probally expensive to make.

You must be joking! It was neither.

thats what USToday said a month or 2 ago. So that was my source. Weather it is true or not just what I read

Dual…I’m pretty sure thats the real car getting FUBARed there.Lol. Look at his heaving chest and expression whilst standing outside the car. He’s locked up.lol.
Although…wouldn’t you love to own the moulds to THAT car ??
Vinny

oh hell yeah on the molds part, maybe the speculated it was a replica or maybe I just read it wrong completly lol. I just browsed through the article

The guy that own it was a sup prime home loan business and had a warehouse of collectable cars, dating a soap opera star and living the high life (as there was an article in the local paper on him…and it was the real deal car).

But lately, he lost everything…cars, starlet and more…

why did he lose everything?

duh, soap opera star = soap opera life.

Someone was in the hospital dying and he was counting on being the beneficiary, however, at the last second the dying person backstabbed him and gave the money to his ex-wife, who consequently hates him for marrying the young soap opera star.

Don’t believe everything you read. I don’t know how those big papers get facts so wrong!
The owners name is Daniel, and he lives down the road from me. The Enzo is very real, and he has (or had) a nice assortment of cars.
To make a long story short, he built up a shady lending company, and made many millions. He paid for the making of the crap movie Redline, just so his aspiring actress girlfriend could have a role. The movie flopped and lost millions. The lending company has a lot of people not paying, and costing the company millions. Daniel sold off a bunch of cars and assets to stay afloat, and seems he’s not making it.

Bingo! TET is on the nose!
