Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Enzo ABS did it fail?

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

Well if this is true you'd think the wreck would have been more 
exciting.  He could have driven the off a bridge while on fire, or 
wrecked into an orphanage while being carjacked by a midget or attacked 
by a boa constrictor.  Running into a piece of concrete in a parking lot 
is pretty boring.
