Actor Eddie Griffin destroyed his producer’s ultra-rare Enzo Ferrari while practicing for a charity race to promote his upcoming movie, Redline.
I understand that accidents happen (even $1.5M ones), but what gets me is Griffin getting out of the car unscathed and casually joking about it.
“Undercover Brother’s good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can’t drive.”
He refers to himself as “Undercover Brother”. After totaling $1.5M of racing machine, only 400 of which were ever made.
Maybe it’s just me and my crazy upside-down worldview, but if Griffin crashed my Enzo, he’d get “Undercover Brother” out of his mouth and that’d be about it. Like, forever.

But, then, there’s the total STUPIDITY of the producer putting the car in the hands of someone unqualified to drive it! (Both technically and tempermentally.) But I’m guessing it was heavily insured, so maybe they can write this off as a “promotional expense”.

(Though there was not much pro in the motion!
I wouldn’t even loan out my ‘93 RX-7!

If this were my Ferrari, that “Undercover Brother” would be underground. 6ft.

If this were my Ferrari, I wouldn’t even worry.
1.5 million would be a joke to me.
And I’d buy a mac factory, just for me.
