Comedian Eddie Griffin Wrecks $1.5M Car
IRWINDALE, Calif. — Eddie Griffin crashed a rare Ferrari Enzo worth $1.5 million into a concrete barrier while practicing at a racetrack, destroying the car but escaping uninjured.

The 38-year-old actor-comedian was practicing Monday for a charity race to promote his upcoming film, "Redline," when he drove too fast around a curve at the Irwindale Speedway. Video footage shows the red sports car screeching before it ricocheted off the barrier with heavy damage to its front.

"Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the Brother can't drive," said Griffin, referring to his 2002 movie, after the accident.

The film's publicist, Wendy Zocks, said Griffin was "doing OK."

"He walked away completely unscratched, but probably a little shaken," Zocks said.

The Enzo is owned by "Redline" executive producer Daniel Sadek, whose exotic car collection is featured in the movie.

Sadek said the Enzo was damaged beyond repair.

"I'm glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed," Sadek said. "I went to my trailer for about 15 minutes and I thought,`There's people dying every day. A lot of worse things are happening in the world.'"

Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were produced, all between 2002 and 2004.

Griffin's film credits also include "Norbit," "Undercover Brother," "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and its sequel, and "Date Movie."

aww, thats too bad. He seems like a nice guy.

its a gross injustice that such an ill skilled person was able to own and drive such a work of art just because he had the money to buy it.

A ferrari is not a "car". As Jeremy Clarkson once said "A Fearari is a scaled down version of God".

There is now one less Enzo in the world

re: NBA porn dude

I knew DVD players in cars was a dangerous idea. Let's make driving more distracting! That guy can't get groupies? Everyone in the NBA has groupies and illegitimate kids.
