Probably the Most Talented Kids on Earth

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

DJ Sara and DJ Ryusei. They’ve got a YouTube page here, with more scratching videos. Amazing stuff, mostly because they are kids.

If they weren’t kids, i’d be like, “Yeah, whateverz.”

Another Wrecked Enzo

UPDATE: Now with YouTube video goodness.

UPDATE 2: Daniel Sadek, owner of the Enzo and financier/producer of the film Redline, and Eddie Griffin, comment on the accident. See below.

This post is for all the people coming to my website searching for “Ferrari Enzo Crash Irwindale” on Google. I had no idea what this was about, so I dug around the Interweb and found this story on cbs.com.

Eddie Griffin ‘Crashes’ Charity Event With Ferrari

(CBS) IRWINDALE, Calif. Actor and comedian Eddie Griffin crashed a pricey Ferrari sports car Monday evening during rehearsals for part of a rehearsal for a charity event called “Race For a Cause” at the Irwindale Speedway.

The blurry picture above is a screen-shot from the cbs.com video showing said Enzo getting a bit of air after hitting a barrier. Here’s a video of the incident. Embedded video coming as soon as someone gets around to posting it on YouTube.

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie…

This is turning into a raging epidemic. With this one headed to the junkyard, or the Wrecked Enzo Hall of Fame, I think we have somewhere around 390-395 Enzos left in the world.  When will Enzo owners get it into their heads that unless you are a professional race car driver, you shouldn’t be racing these machines on the race track or on the street. It’s just not going to work out well for you.

Daniel Sadek, Eddie Griffin, and others talk:

The Ultimate Car Wash

At 5,000 pounds a car, or about $10,000 US, totally worth it, i’d say. I forsee a career change in the near future.

Mustang Shelby GT-H Wjowsa!

Monday, August 28, 2006

Dude does some serious Wjowsa in a limited edition rental Mustang Shelby GT-H. I wonder if the rental company has any anti-burnout clauses in their contracts.
