That car will be sent back to be rebuilt. It would have to be in alot worse shape for that to go to a junkyard. You can either lose 1.3m on it or 400k to bring it back to new.

Jeezis. Now I've seen it all. I frequently read news stories about car accidents where the reporter says "the car slammed into a tree." The driver was aparently just along for the ride, despite being in control, and the car decided to slam into a tree.
In this case, the highway is static and has dips and bumps. Yet, when someone decides to drive over it at high speed (which you should really not do on a highway with dips and bumps), it's the highway's fault.
Good reasoning there.
I hope my car doesn't decide to slam into a tree. And yet, I really doubt it will because I adjust for the variables that you encounter when driving a vehicle.

Admittedly I am no expert on the prices of Ferrari parts and labor, but from the looks of that wreckage, I have a hard time believing that that car can be repaired for 400K. You also have to remember that even though the car may have actually sold brand-new for over a million bucks, the official factory price for an Enzo, if my memory is correct, was around 600K. Of course, one of the questions raised in determining if a car will be totalled or not is how much it is worth on the used-car market. I personally think there is at least a fair chance, when they really look at what they are getting into, that the car WILL be totalled.

Perhaps the guy driving it had the wrong last name, too. Instead of Losee maybe it should have been Loser. 
Anyhow, I'm glad he got out of it with just a few broken bones and was not killed.
