A friend of mine who owned a Goodyear tire shop did the same thing with a brand new Cadillac Escalade.
I read a previous article and it did not say exactly how this happened. The article I read stated he was turning the car around to drive back to the dealership.
My guess he was playing Steve McQueen and tried to do a 180 and lost control and git the tree stump. He will of course be fired. Explain this to the insurance company.
This is an Enzo:
This is the car:
A little bondo and good as new.
That won’t just “buff right out”...
But it will have to be Italian Bondo.
Supply chain issues.
Did the driver fly like the motorcyclist a few days ago?
Gee, I guess the tree stump was in the middle of the road… How the hell did the guy (referred to as “they” in the article rather than “he”.) manage to hit the tree stump? WHAT caused the car to go where it didn’t belong? They never get to that in the article.
They’ll just deduct it from his weekly pay for the next million years.
I was curious about that too — was the idiot off-roading?
I had 4 motorcycles over the years before I stopped riding. I let a guy who was also owned a bike ride mine once. Dumped it in the first block.
Learned my lesson, luckily it was a light dump.
Totaled? It’s hard to believe it would cost as much as $3,360,000 to completely restore this car.
Only a TOTAL IDIOT would let a mechanic touch, much less work on, a car like that.
“They” is the new liberal gender-neutral word for a person, and yes, it’s idiotic.
Very high performance cars are hard to drive aggressively and even experienced owners wreck them. But driving them aggressively is why people own them.
I managed a ziffy lube.
If Google turned up his name and that wreck.
Next!!!!
My wife works at a place with valet parking. Last year a valet destroyed a customers new z06 corvette. Seems it was his first and last day of employment.
I doubt that is the issue with this wreck. It was an older Ferrari and I think the answer is the high performance summer tires on the car were old and out of date and had no tread.
I had a mid engine Italian car. It also got totalled.
It was a fiat x/19...
The engine fell out due to rust.
But ya know the end result was the same. the car was junk
My Jiffy Lube is fantastic and think they get a bad rap.
“I doubt that is the issue with this wreck. It was an older Ferrari and I think the answer is the high performance summer tires on the car were old and out of date and had no tread.”
A four million $ car with no tread? Seriously!
Even with good tread, summer tires when cold on cold road have very poor traction!
