Default Comment of Lexus by Eddie Griffin

Just watched from Yahoo about Eddie Griffin crashed his producer Ferrari Enzo...

Caught On Tape: Comic Eddie Griffin Crashes Ferrari
Link to the video

Obviously, he braked too hard and caused the car understeer and crashed...

However, I am sort of pissed at his comment after the crash... "...I just urr need to drive a "Lexus"..."

Hey man, he simply doesn't know how to drive..... Don't imply it to Lexus...

By the way, I don't think the car is total...

Dude can act and do comedy, but he can't drive worth a d... He can put it on a Lex because they are way more forgiving than an Enzo. Probably should of got driving lessons before getting into that supercar.

Hey Ajay,
he actally admitted later that he couldn't drive. Given the situation, I don't know what else he could say.

I did a replay several times and it looks like he never tried to brake.

I think he probably drove as if it were a video game where you can just floor it and just yank the steering wheel and the car would instantly go that way.

Given my autocross experience, i think he entered the curve too fast. Hit the brake too hard and caused the car in understeer stage imo....that's what I think..

He crashed it on purpose. 1.2 Million vs all the people in the world talking about him and the movie, good ROI.

I think it's pretty pathetic for the producer to have someone crashed his enzo in order to make "news" so that people will go watch his movie.

Also check out the reviews from yahoo movies and you'll see how ****ty the movie is......
