Eddie Griffin, You're An Idiot

The Enzo Ferrari is a car that explains itself with it's price tag. Sold at over $1.5 million, there were only 400 produced in 2003 and you had to be approved by Ferrari to own one. And yesterday, Eddie Griffin proved that celebrity drivers should be approved by Ferrari as well.

As the video shows, Griffin was practicing for a charity event at Irwindale Speedway in Daniel Sadek's Enzo Ferrari. Sadek, who would later refer to the Ferrari as his "dream car", is the executive producer of the new movie Redline. He brought several of his own personal cars out for the race, and unfortunately gave Eddie Griffin the keys.

Girffin slammed the car into a barricade and completely destroyed it. Enzo Ferrari's just simply don't head to the repair shop. The car is done for.

But the good news is Griffin is OK. Well enough, in fact, to joke about throwing away another man's $1.5 million.

"Undercover Brother is good at karate and all the rest of that, but a brother can't drive."

Ha. Ha. Are you kidding me? That's all you've got to say for yourself? You just wrecked a friggin' Enzo Ferrari. The car was probably worth more than your house, Eddie. There are probably other Ferrari owners and supercar nuts that are crying today because of you.

Sadek was very professional about it, talking about how good it was that Griffin was OK and how many people die everyday and that there "are a lot of worse things happening in the world".

True, there are. But people don't lose $1.5 million possessions everyday, either. And apparently that news cast felt Eddie Griffin's crash was more important than a kidnapping plot.

Smooth one, Griffin, smooth.
