Gogo said Ferrari's are Italian trash. Guess she was right.

Second Enzo that's bit it, in less than 12 months. Only 400 were ever produced, must be something in the Ferrari red paint.

This is the third one that has crashed, in the last 12 months. I remember reading about them both. This guy's Ferrari was black. That said, red cars do go faster, and that's why LEO'S stop them more often than any other car color. I know from personal experience. LOL ;o)

Not much better shape than James Dean's Porsche.

Burns covering 70% of his body? He is as good as dead.

That's the old CW. One hundred minus (Percent burned plus age in years) equals odds of survival was how it was taught to me. However, that doesn't take into account advances in burn treatment and artificial skin grafts.

Guy's got, I would estimate based on burn vics I've known, a 50-50 chance. Like you said, infection is the greatest threat to him right now. Skin keeps infection out, and Suleyman is missing a whole bunch of it.

Burn treatment is being revolutionized even now by military doctors... thanks to the sonofabitches who put a propane tank in an IED.

d.o.l.

I wouldn't turn it our of the stable, butt ugly or not. It is what's under the hood that counts, or in this case under the mid engine cover.

I am quite certain it was Central Utah for the closed road rally.

Nah. I'd let him sit in it and touch it, but drive, not until he had graduated from every driving school know to man. I would think Ferrari itself could take some blame, unless they are not releasing these particular machines without specific and professional driver training such that their is no surprise at what their capabilities are.

Some claim to fame huh, injured, maimed, burned, or killed by an Enzo.

he should use the excuse my nephew gave when he ran my sister's car into a neighbor's mailbox and giant rock down the street. "The steering wheel air bag deployed for no reason at all." Yea, and the dog ate my homework too.

How come its only us relatives that figured out the fact that my nephew was letting his 15 year old sister try her hand at driving for her first time....... LOL!
