Well, the Ferrari Enzo continues to appreciate in value, and not only due to it's limited production and hyper-exoticness. Some Enzos fall victim to their Schuey-wannabe owners, who learn too late that owning an Enzo and having the skills required to handle one are two very different things.

Today's case in point: the poor, forlorn Enzo pictured above. According to the Swedish blog Bilfeber, this Enzo met its maker outside the Seoul, Korea airport. It's another testament to the Enzo's ability to take damage yet protect its occupants, as the driver walked away with no serious physical injuries. The "I'm such an ***!" feeling he or she is surely experiencing, on the other hand ... well, that's probably going to stick for a while.

They are... It's the curse of "money can't buy common sense."

I heard the engine revving high,” one witness told the Associated Press. Police officials told ABC they were trying to determine if speed was a “factor.”

.."You see kids, this officer even sacrificed his own life to show that speed (not the drug) kills, but we're not sure on this case yet."

How can you tell if it's a TR with it being upside down like that? You need the headlights to tell.

Edit: never mind, I see the headlights now, it's down.......or uhhhh up

The CHP officer usually gets away with speeding in the Ferrari when he flashes his badge.

In this case, his speeding finally caught up to him.
