Default Re: another Enzo totaled

Actually, the owner/driver was Richard Losee, somebody whose driving I would trust as much as I do my own (which might not be saying much )

He is a very experienced and professional driver who had driven the crashed Enzo almost 35,000 miles. Yes, he obviously has lots of money, but I think it is unfair to look at what is clearly an unfortunate accident and say "another idiot with more money than brains".

I too have learned that money and brains do not always go hand in hand, but, in some cases there are true car guys that are very skilled drivers that sometimes have bad stuff happen. Look at professional drivers in CART or NASCAR that crash all the time. They have lots of money, but we don't call them idiots when they crash, do we?

I don't know Losee personally, but, I think it sucks that a guy that actually has the balls to really DRIVE his Enzo as a daily driver as well as race it had this happen. The good news is he survived and will live to race again.

Just my humble opinion. Too often these days it feels like the car hobby is filled with predjudice...we all need to realize that no matter what the value level or the types of cars, we are a lot more alike than we are sometimes apt to think.

Stepping down off of my soapbox now...LOL
