Well in more ways than one :lol: Former Gizmondo exec's crashed $1m Ferrari Enzo Posted Feb 22nd 2006 12:47PM by Ryan Block Filed under: Gaming, Handhelds, Transportation We're already on the phone with our friends at Merriam Webster to get the definition of poetic justice revised: Stefan Eriksson -- the former Gizmondo executive who stepped down amidst allegations of his involvement in the Uppsala Mafia Swedish organized crime ring, and who perhaps most embodied the internal corruption of Tiger Telematics -- no longer has his 2003 Ferrari Enzo, of which 399 were made, and each cost a million dollars. You see, apparently while racing a Mercedes SLR the car careened off an embankment and hit a pole at about 125MPH, which literally split the thing in two right down the center (don't worry, he lived to see this post). Without giggling too much longer at the unbelievable irony of this incident, it's worth noting that some more deets have surfaced about just how how much money Gizmondo hemorrhaged last year before filing for bankruptcy: between January and September of 2005 Tiger Telematics lost £140m (about $244 million), up another 33m from the $210 in the hole they were when we reported on their operating losses last year. So without getting too schadenfreude up in this piece, let's just say this post goes out to all the disenfranchised Gizmondo owners and former employees of Tiger Telematics, and we'll leave it at that. This is "THE" car :noooo:
That's hilarious. I feel bad for the car though. There's no need in wrecking such a fine piece, oh and the driver probably got what he deserved.
controversy is he said he wasn't driving. There was a clip from a gun in the wreckage, and two men pretending to be "homeland security" came over to talk to him and left. The men were not in any way government officials.
No, not even close. Men in black usually don't use weapons. Men in black supposedly have supernatural powers, not to mention they look inhuman. Though they do pretend to be government officials, and perhaps are related to the government in some twisted form, they are usually associated with alien life forms. Some believe MIB are a mix between an alien and a human. Plus, if it were MIB, they would have been able to disappear at a moments notice. While very interesting, it's all just another conspiracy theory. Glad you brought it up though, because it's one of my favorites.
Nah, I dont think it was the MIB. Its more likely that it was the Majestics. "Theres nothing more I hate than a Furon."
Yeah, he was drunk above the limit, blamed it on the "driver", but it turned out there was only blood on one of the airbags - the one on the driver side. All in all I'm just impressed he crashed that speed and survived.
That's what being shit-faced drunk can do for you. Word to the wise: if you're ever planning on getting in a horrendous auto accident and you want to survive, make sure you're really drunk. ...word is bondage...
