Now Only 399...

For those of you from California, who are linked to money laundering and European prisons, who are also thinking about buying a million dollar Ferrari Enzo, using money from your financially strapped handheld video game company, then driving said vehicle in a country (the U.S.) that doesn't know you imported it, letting some stranger - "...a mysterious German man whom he knew only as Dietrich..." - drive the car, race a Mercedes SLR, and then wreck it while traveling over 120 mph, crash it into an electrical pole, split the car in half, throw the engine and transmission out into the street, creating a 1200 foot trail of debris, and then watch said "mysterious man" flee on foot...I think you might be in need of a better story.

Eriksson, 44, declined to be interviewed Wednesday, according to a security officer posted in front of his gated Bel-Air mansion.

But he had told authorities that he was a passenger in the car driven by a mysterious German man whom he knew only as Dietrich when the Ferrari Enzo lost control and crashed Tuesday on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. He said Dietrich fled on foot up a canyon and disappeared.

But detectives are skeptical of that explanation and said Wednesday that they were going to re-interview Eriksson. Witnesses told detectives the Ferrari was drag racing with a Mercedes-Benz SLR.

"His story has inconsistencies that need to be cleared up," Sheriff's Sgt. Phillip Brooks said.

The investigation has also centered on exactly how the Enzo got into the United States and how Eriksson came to possess it, Brooks said.

"We have quite a few new leads on that," Brooks said, but he declined to elaborate.

The crash occurred about 6 a.m. west of Decker Road when the Ferrari, traveling at 120 mph in the northbound lane, crested a hill and slammed into a power pole.

The car split in two, sending the engine flying and creating a 1,200-foot trail of debris, sheriff's deputies said.

The power pole was snapped about halfway up and suspended by power lines like a half-chopped corn stalk.

The Enzo is one of the most exclusive cars in the world, with only 400 ever made.

If you love automobiles, and Ferraris, shield your eyes. These images are ghastly.
