Lots of fun stuff this week - lots from Metafilter so some of you may have seen some of this -
First - a sketchy story about a 120 mph crash in a MILLION dollar car with NO injuries...wasn't even legally owned!
ENZO-GATE...I don't know if this has made the news in the rest of the country, but we have an entertaining story developing here in Southern California. Yesterday morning, police found a million dollar Ferrari Enzo completely wrecked on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, apparently after running into a pole at 120 miles per hour during a drag race with a Mercedes-Benz SLR.
Nobody was hurt (!), but the car's owner, Stefan Eriksson, provided police with the following alibi: he wasn't driving the car. He was only a passenger. The driver was a "German guy named Dietrich" who ran away right after the crash, leaving Eriksson to take the fall. Eriksson doesn't know anything more about the guy.
The official word is that "detectives are skeptical of that explanation." Ya think?
