When can daughter drive Dad's car again?
*Next lifetime.
When will kid see the light of day?
*Same day the polar ice caps melt.
Child still ALIVE....
*Priceless................
Car only had 9 miles on it.............
*One mile of it was during the wreck.


{Edit} Dan correctly pointed out that this was a different crash entirely & not some teenager as the story points out

Summary::
A 2003 Ferrari Enzo crashed at 6:08 AM on February 21, 2006 in Malibu, California on the Pacific Coast Highway near Decker Canyon . In the first few hours after the crash, there was a lot of confusion as to who the driver was. Here are the facts so far - we will continue to update you on this story as it unfolds:

FACTS:

* The owner of the car is Stefan Erikssen, a 44 year old former executive of Gizmondo. He left Gizmondo after allegedly being involved in a Swedish Mafia crime ring.
* He only suffered a bloody lip in the accident
* He claimed that he was a passenger in the Enzo and that the person driving was a German guy named "Dietrich".
* He claimed that they were racing a Mercedes SLR
* Police estimate that he was travelling a minimum of 100 MPH and up to 200 MPH when the crash occurred.
* Stefan Erikssen was intoxicated at the time of the accident

OTHER INFO:

* A witness claimed that he saw the car go airborn due to excessive speed which is why the crash occurred in the first place.
* Police could not find the "driver", but they did find blood on the drivers side airbag. Police claim that only the driver side airbag deployed, however this photo seems to show that both airbags deployed.
* Police find the owner's story sketchy

Here's the whole story if you are interested:

Apparently, it was still out of control on the grass & went airborne hitting the pole at the exact spot where the engine compartment ends. He should count his blessings.

That reminds me of a deer that has been hit, there are guts laying in the middle of the road (engine). Bodily fluids spilled out everywhere (oil/gas/coolant), and the mangled carcass far away from both of these other two (car).
