Say it ain't Seoul! Another Enzo meets its maker
Well, the Ferrari Enzo continues to appreciate in value, and not only due to it's limited production and hyper-exoticness. Some Enzos fall victim to their Schuey-wannabe owners, who learn too late that owning an Enzo and having the skills required to handle one are two very different things.
Today's case in point: the poor, forlorn Enzo pictured above. According to the Swedish blog Bilfeber, this Enzo met its maker outside the Seoul, Korea airport. It's another testament to the Enzo's ability to take damage yet protect its occupants, as the driver walked away with no serious physical injuries. The "I'm such an ass!" feeling he or she is surely experiencing, on the other hand ... well, that's probably going to stick for a while.
Thanks to readers Johan and Roger for the tips!

that doesn't look TOO bad. it might be repairable. at least the car wasn't split in half.

If you can't afford to break it, you can't afford to own it. :-)

I think it's unrepairable because the whole car is made out of carbon fiber no?

It's because of idiots like this that we have dumb dumb laws.
I'm starting to think that people who ride in chauffered cars shouldn't all of a sudden graduate to an exotic. That or people should be required to take another type of drivers ed. class for these types of vehicles.

Pretty soon they're going to remodel the bumper cars at your local fair to be little Enzo's.

no school, no sale also no real drivers school, no license. any age no exceptions. most don't have a clue on curves or speed.

So if I buy an Enzo, how long do I have to wait until it's one-of-a-kind? :-)

And Ferrari requires that you have owned previous Ferraris in order to even be considered as a potential Enzo purchaser? What does this say about Ferrari owners, that they can't drive?!

Wow. When will people learn that just because you can afford a race car doesnt make you a race car driver.

I am required to test in order to have the privlege of driving a normal, everyday car. Yet, like making babies we are not required to prove our worthiness more when handed an instrument like this.
Hopefully any fines coming the driver's way will be proportionate to the value of the vehicle.

#9, I know of a case (I'm sure there are more!) where the "prior purchaser" requirement was satisfied by buying another Ferrari immediately before the Enzo - in essence one deal.

My Goodness!
Pretty soon high crash statistics will raise the cost of insuring one of those things;-).

Its a common thing here (Seoul). They (Korean Society, I am an American)have been driving in this country for around 40 years and autos only became a routine family item in the last 20 years, but there will always be the Hyundae Babies and Samsung kids who get Exotics just for being who they are. I love seeing these cars trashed. There is no where in this country, and I know, that anyone can enjoy a supercar. The highways are overcrowded and Koreans are horrible drivers for the most part. I say keep bringing them in and watching them burn until some of these guys get common sense. It is pretty sickening to see a Lambo or a Bugatti sitting in a Seoul traffic jam just so some idiot with no idea of what the car is for can window pimp. (but what do I know, I have an NSX and not a enzo)
