A driver lost control of a Ferrari sports car traveling 120 mph along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu this morning, slamming into a power pole that cut the car — which sells for up to $1 million — in half, according to authorities.

$1 million on a car and not a penny on driving lessons. Priceless.

The sports car went airborne and struck a power pole 5 to 10 feet off the ground, Brooks said. The car was demolished, but two air bags deployed.
and
Erikssen told them the driver of the car fled on foot, but a search turned up no one

If it wasn't stolen.... I don't think it's going to be too hard to find the driver.

Idiots... pure idiots... :eeps:

I think that drunk rich guy racing is always stupid.

But I am damn impressed that that Enzo hit the pole at 120 mph and the driver lived to lie about it.

...and the driver lived to lie about it.

:lol:

...maybe the cockpit was designed as sort of an escape capsule. Given enough stress/shear, it just detaches and lets the heavier portion of the car (with the most momentum) just continue on.:D

Somewhere between impressed and disappointed.

So any updates on this? My local morning news had a blurb on it yesterday morning...

Edit: Found one: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-ferrari23feb23,0,1692414.story?coll=la-home-headlines

That story says that the crash happened while street racing... an SLR...
