I wonder if people who see wrecked NSX's would say the same things about us?V12Kid said:

I remember reading that the new Benz McLaren SLR had a special modularized construction approach that facilitated repair work, whereas in an Enzo or Pagani you could be SOL. I'll try to look up the reference.Soichiro said:
Don't recall if it was for the McLaren SLR or Carrera GT.

Hold On, There
$650k into the trash, guys like that don’t deserve what they have!!
Not so fast with the rhetoric, V12Kid. Your comment is very condescending. For example......
Somebody posts on the Camaro forum a picture of a totaled NSX. Another member of said forum posts a comment along the line of, "$90k into the trash, guys like that don’t deserve what they have!!"
How would that make you feel? How do we know what happened to the Enzo.....it may have been a genuine accident, right?
Your comment is completely unfounded and biased.

Double Standards ??
What a freaking moron-
I could say the same thing about you, when you spun at TWS last year, had you hit a wall.
Why is it that when somebody has an accident, other people have to look down their nose at the individual?
Thao NSX smacked her rear suspension, yet nobody is calling her a moron, despite her taking her NSX out in the snow, which is not quite wise. For all we know, the Enzo was in good weather.
Lighten up.

AFAIK, ThaoNSX is a man. I think the account originated under his wife's name, hence "Debbie Thao".

My Bad

My apology to Mr. / Ms. Thao.....somewhere I drew the wrong conclusion when I saw pictures from a different thread.
Regardless, I hope the point in my above threads comes across clear - do not call somebody a moron or undeserving of their expensive car, just because of an accident.

Re: CSI needed...!
pbassjo should be able to "decipher" the cause of death of this poor prancing Italian Stallion......

[ie. type of collision/impact, potential-likely damage]

Here's the rest of the info. Check out that repair cost estimate 
Perhaps you now see that this Enzo owner is no moron at all....ACV = $1,300,000. Not bad, especially if he bought it directly from Ferrari for $650,000. He could buy it back, repair it, and basically drive a brand new Enzo for free.
If that is the one the guys son wrecked, I would be interested to know the details.
That makes 2 of us.Meeyatch1 said:

Yes, it was you. When you came to the paddock, you parked near the chain link fence towards the back, facing the carousel turn. There was mud all over the left bottom portion of your car and mud was on your driver-side outer sidewalls. If you didn't spin, then you definitely dropped two wheels to get that much mud on your car and in the wheel wells. There were three red NSXs there that weekend - mine (I was not running), a coupe (black roof) and yours (with the similar tape-on numbers, except I think you had blue numbers) as shown in your avatar. Point is, whether you spun or dropped wheels, nobody called you a moron and that is why I made my initial comment earlier in this thread.
turned up on Ebay

According to discussions on ferrarichat.com and ferrariforum.net this IS the Florida (Tampa?) car crashed by the owner's son.

I don't have any kids but can't imagine how I would react if my son were to do that.

Damn! When I first joined Prime, I thought Andy and I were on opposite poles, but as of late, we are starting to have similar views 
Glad to hear from you, especially when in agreement with me.

So, I will say it again, I didn't spin at TWS. However, like you said, I did drop 2 wheels. AND, I FELT LIKE A MORON FOR DOING IT.
So, I stand by my statement, What a moron! Maybe you wouldn't feel that way if you crashed your SC NSX, but I know I would.
different strokes for different folks
Back on topic,
I wonder if this person has any bidders yet?
