I guess it is possible that it was a Hoax, but if you look at that guy, he was up against another concrete baracade. I dunno.

Being a car guy, I just find it hard to believe that anyone would purposely wreck an Enzo, regardless of the cost asociated with it. It says in that article that this same producer had 2 of his Carrera GTs wrecked in previous films, but come on, those are not Enzos.

I guess it doesn't really matter, the fact remains that the market value of an Enzo just went up becasue there is one less in the world.

And there is the point that it could have been a kit car made to look like an enzo

I never knew he had two Carrera GT's wrecked in two previous films...quite possibly because THEY WEREN'T ENZO'S!!! Which means after his second wreck, he didn't get the recognition he wanted. Here's how I see it": he couldn't figure out why people weren't noticing the two previously wrecked luxury cars and why he wasn't getting the free publicity. The jerk finally figured it out and said...."Let's do the Enzo this time....that'll make it to CNN and the entire internet!"

So now he's had 3 luxury cars destoryed. BLACK LIST :slice:

The two porsches were wrecked during the filming of the movie they were promoting.

Well, I'm not convinced it was a hoax... . But if this producer has to resort to these kind of "stunts", apparently he nor his movies are worth wasting time on, IMO.

Also, if he's also wrecked other exotics, the guy is an IDIOT! Yes, they're just cars to alot of people, but if you need these kind of "stunts" to promote yourself and your movies, obviously you aren't a very good producer.

I hope this moron is "black listed" before he wrecks another fine automobile.

It has indeed been confirmed that it was an Enzo, not a kit car.

But, 3 times in a row??? That's just irresponsible! I wouldn't want to sell a car to someone who's going to go wreck it for a little publicity...especially when there's only 400 made. Of course, money is money. But, I would want to make sure the 1.5 MILLION dollar car would be taken care of by an owner who cares about luxury vehicles.

Of course, this black listed talk is all based upon the "idea" that the wreck was a hoax for publicity. There's no tellin. I see exactly what you are saying, Killer. Again, if it was done on purpose, then I'd feel that way.

OK. I read my post out loud. That only accomplished waking my Golden who was sound asleep next to me. :p

I stand by what I posted. "Shit happens", as you say, and I don't know the circumstances behind the wrecked Porsches, but if you're handing over the keys to your $1.5 million exotic to someone who obviously needs to work on their driving skills, IMO, you need your head examined.
