Eddie Griffin is such a scumbag. Co-incidentally another Eddie Griffin, a fellow African American who was a basketball player, died in a car crash recently. -- Last edit: 2007-12-02 17:41:50 |

I cant believe Eddie Griffin wrecked this car! There's only something like 52 of these left right now. I really dispise this guy. |

No. ![]() When I've visited Hiroshi in 2003, we've also visited the Matsuda Collection ( http://www.ferrariownersclub.co.uk/happenings/2004/august/matsuda/text.asp ) I must admit, that it was boring for me. Really boring. Except the fact, that I personally never had any feelings or connections to Ferrari, the museum was nothing for your heart. Yes, it may sounds strange, but it has an impression of sterility. Nowhere you can feel any "heart's blood" of the owner. It's just a big amount of high priced cars. And collections of other expensive things, like old fuel pumps and chronometers, too - all toys for people with very much money, but without a reflected feeling for artefacts and historical relations. Just a mountain of expensive industrial products. Boring and not impressive. Even the objects are less valuable, collections like that ones: http://www.automuseum-busch.de/index-en.htm http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/ even that small one: http://www.motorradmuseum-heinz-luthringshauser.com/e-museum.htm which I've visited in the past, were much more interesting, at least really fascinating. There you can see, that someone has collected with heart and knowledge - not only with money. -- Last edit: 2010-05-14 22:28:20 |

What attracts people to Ferraris? The famous racing heritage, image, looks and speed, they've always been considered to be at the top of their class (although there's always Porsche, Lamborghini and others) and they are solely dedicated to making sports cars, they don't make saloons, 4x4s, estates or affordable cars like Nissan or Toyota does. As a brand Ferrari just has this unique image, like the way Rolls-Royce does. I used to think he was when I was younger ![]() -- Last edit: 2010-05-15 15:54:11 |

That might have something to do with the age of the car, it'll be at least 20 years old ![]() -- Last edit: 2010-05-15 15:47:42 |

Yes. To be a high performance -so very expensive- car is no excuse for being unreliable. High Tech doesn't (should not, IMHO) exclude reliability. It's realy audacious by Ferrari and other expensive "high performance"-manufactures, to offer cars in such shitty quality to their customers. This is really impudent, as you can see, that others can do it much better. Look at Porsche: it's no problem to run down with at least all Porsche's of all model-years some hundreds-of-thousands of all-day-kilometers around the whole year at every weather. Or what's up with the High-End-versions of some Mercedes-models? Or AMG-Benzes? Or M-BMW's? Maybe my opinion is not identical with that of others, but for me any car of any age and for any price has to have one predicate, that I accept it: reliability. |

Yes, Ferrari has an unique image. But absolutely nothing else. |
◊ 2010-05-15 19:42 |
As you know I'm no Ferrari fan at all (I prefer French extravagance), but I'd say cars can have other qualities than the boring German perfection... |

Well no Ingo because a Ferrari engine is designed to get as much power and acceleration possible, it's not like some ordinary car which is primarily designed for everyday driving. Yes, nowadays there's more fast cars around that are souped-up versions of mass-market, coupes/softops and hatchbacks (but a BMW M5 or a Mercedes SL65 AMG still can't beat a Ferrari F430 or 599) but if we're talking about an 80s Testarossa, there were much fewer cars that were in its league back then. Yes, there's Porsches but I still think Ferraris have something that they don't. You don't agree then choose a Porsche instead! It's not fair to say Ferraris have just this glamourous image and nothing else. Yes, it would be annoying to buy such an expensive new car that wasn't very well-made or kept breaking down but are you sure this Testarossa didn't just have the wear and tear of 20-odd years? -- Last edit: 2010-05-15 20:49:02 |

By the way, this Ferrari Enzo is awful ... IMHO ![]() |

It's not beautiful but it's very fast which is what it was designed be ![]() -- Last edit: 2010-05-15 21:33:13 |

I'm not going so far to demand "German perfection" - just working technic would be fine, not more. |
◊ 2010-05-16 18:09 |
This can be annoying, you are right, but it referrs to all people, who describe their selfs as car lovers, but their interest is limited only to supercars (or expensive cars in general) and contempt of everything else. I agree a bit with G-MANN. Porsche I find a different type of car than Ferrari. In fact it is meant to be also an everyday use car (well the 911), and Ferrari is rather an exclusive gadget, especially such one like Enzo. -- Last edit: 2010-05-16 18:14:46 |

Agreed. My problem with Ferrari is how they send out their team of lawyers to harass any artist who paints a picture of one of their cars, or any 3D modeler who makes a non-commercial Ferrari add-on for a racing game, or anyone who customizes one of their vehicles, or any owner who blogs about trouble he's having with his Ferrari. The arrogance of Ferrari SpA is unbelievable. Are some Ferraris, at least older ones, nice cars? Sure. Are they *that* special? No. |

Looking back on Clarkson - I preferred him when he did Motorworld and early Top Gear. These days I still find him a little entertaining, but there are much better car enthusiasts and journalists. |

I find this car to be just an F60 which has been outclassed by more or less every modern ferrari out there right now, even their entry level 458 italia. I mean if it was a real enzo ferrari the f40, the last one made during the old mans rein with no power steering, a brutal turbo and no interior accommodations besides seats and the roll down windows (a true racecar for the street like the 250 gto and the 288) I could see people getting upset. but this car was just a million dollar technological showcase not a work of Passion like those cars and thus I dont care that some hedge fund dirtbag had his ferrari crashed by some not so funny comedian -- Last edit: 2011-04-10 00:24:36 |

True. Last year, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Ferrari was the only one that didn't allow people to go into their booth. Except for owners and potential customers. They have forgotten the people that build the company. But older Ferrari race cars like the 250 GT0 and P4 are very special, because those cars are from the days before Ferrari became what it is today, a rich, arrogant car company for people with money. |

Made for USA |

So, you're saying that I'm not allowed to call my self a "car lover" just because I like Porsche's and Jag's instead of 40 year old Volvo's and VW's? ![]() -- Last edit: 2023-12-16 09:35:43 |

Terrible movie but hey, the Enzo is my personal dream car |

Although the Enzo (serial number #130727) did survive the movie, as we all know Eddie Griffin crashed it during a promotional event at Irwindale Speedway in 2007. It was repaired in Texas in 2008, and currently resides in Pennsylvania. https://exclusivecarregistry.com/details/ferrari/enzo/7154 Ferrari historian Carbon McCoy did a video with VINwiki, in which he states that after the crash this car's next owner was Andy House, the same Andy House who drove his Bugatti into a lake in Texas as part of an insurance fraud scheme in 2009. https://youtu.be/vrjmXcT8QyU?si=iJzUaLnopzm7l-N3 -- Last edit: 2025-07-19 05:55:00 |
