I could see it in his face while he was standing there after the wreck. "Ok...insurance....insurance....I paid that shit right.....Oh fuck me.....I paid it right? Yeah I think I did....I hope I paid the insurance bill....."
Poor guy.

The crash was painful to watch... anyway it got enough buzz from the media that 'Enzo Ferrari' is one of today's top searches at Yahoo! At least it spiked enough interest in the car (not Griffin)

YEah even my mom asked me if I saw this video. Where was this type of coverage the last time an enzo was wrecked.. Would have been a great marketing promo if theyd painted an add on the side of the car.. Cheaper then the superbowl with a larger audience.. hmmmm..

From Yahoo! Buzz:
A Car Worth Wrecking?
In the annals of movie promotion, no publicity stunt is too over-the-top. Borat attempted to enter the White House with a camera crew to plug his eponymous flick, Steve-O urinated on the red carpet at the "Jackass 2" premiere, and Tom Cruise glibly went bananas during his promotional tour for "Mission Impossible 3." But is the destruction of a priceless automobile worth a bump in grosses? The promotional push for the soon-to-be-released "Redline" put Eddie Griffin's acting abilities to the test.
When Griffin rammed an Enzo Ferrari worth $1.5 million into a wall during a promo event for "Redline," he also smashed square into the Search box. Queries on the reckless thespian jumped from zero into the thousands and he also managed to cause search spikes on "eddie griffin car crash," "eddie griffin ferrari video," and "eddie griffin movies." That last query is of paramount importance, because Griffin's big bummer boosted interest on his latest cinematic achievement.
Gossip blogs are speculating that his calamity was a coldly calculated maneuver designed to drive searches on "Redline." The standard fast-cars-fast-girls flick was crawling along in the slow lane of Buzz, but Griffin's accident caused searches on the film to burn rubber. Buzz on the movie doubled immediately and we're sure the mangled Ferrari will be a hot topic as the film gasses up for an April 13 release. We've also seen increased interest in "redline trailer," "redline cars," and "redline soundtrack"—proof positive that the Enzo imbroglio paid off handsomely in Buzz.
Was it a planned stunt? We'll leave that for you to decide, but the true test will take place at the box office. If Griffin's wreck pays off, we're sure the producers will forgive him...
-- I'd prefer to think of this as an accident because if this 'stunt' were really calculated, that would be shameful :!: :?

In the pursuit of the almighty dollar, nothing is too shameful - just ask the Russian or Mexican or Colombian mafia.. ;)

Soooooo.....back to the Enzo.
Now that I think about it - it's totally a stunt.
I've always disliked Eddie Griffin, now I hate him.

I know this topic is really old but here's an update anyway...
You all remember Eddie Griffin, the celebrity gent who recently hopped in a borrowed Enzo and decided to test his theories on speed vs. coefficient of friction, vector change, and impact absorption? Well, like a proud papa whose kid blows up the chemistry class but gets on the front page of the local paper, the team behind his new movie, Redline, has decided to share the results of Eddie's physics experiment with the public: the And-There-Went-Another-Enzo is on display at Graumans' Chinese Theatre in Hollywood in advance of the movie's Thursday premiere.
It is entirely possible that Griffin was trying to show people at the Irwindale Speedway a scene from the film, which, based on the trailer, looks like 90210-meets-the-Gumball-Rally-meets-demolition-derby. Apparently people who go to movies bursting with multimillion dollar machines want to see them run into every solid object possible. A movie spokesperson, who said the car would be lying "in state," added that "Surrounding the car, in tribute, will be several high-profile sports cars as well as floral, candle and tribute displays to the car. It'll be a very special memorial service."
Oh Enzo, we hardly knew ye.
