Maybe he was just embarassed about wrecking the car?

Or was so depressed he ran away to kill himself?

...either one seems reasonable after crashing a Ferrari, especially a one million dollar Ferrari.

Even those loose parts scattered on the road will still worth a lot of money. Wonder if there is a black market for Ferrari parts?

It really makes me wonder, what the hell that driver was doing to loose control of that thing to make the car look like that; and then to flee - I am betting suicide is an option - I know I wouldn't want to be that guy.

Yeah I don't think I could live with myself knowing I destroyed the car made to honor one of the greatest, if not the greatest, name in automotive history. I'll have to ask my friend that lives in Malibu on the PCH if he has heard anything about it. One good thing I guess is now they know how safe it is in wrecks at high speeds.

600k if you buy from Ferrari and you have to of owned 3 of there top cars to be even considered. 1 Million dollars for the resale value,if i wanted to buy one it would cost me a 1 million buying it used.

Yeah, that's what I was insinuating... Besides isn't Enzo production already over? That would mean all the cars available are gonna cost you 1,000,000 or more.
