It's pretty obvious since it involves an imaginary person!
Depending on the condition of the tub, there is a very remote chance the car could theoretically be rebuilt (I highly doubt it), but
- it would cost as much as it did to build the car in the first place, maybe more.
- the car has not been legally imported, so it is contraband and will probably be retained as evidence.
So go for the Veyron, which still isn't finished yet, and suffer from instability at high speeds (bad!puckhead193 said:

According to Wiki, the FXX was EPA certified for street use... which is interesting. In which case I presume once the program is ended the cars will be delivered to their owners.
Little work would be required I suspect to attain single-type approval though if you did want to drive it on the road (probably not the U.S.), and maybe that's what Ferrari was initially trying to stop.

hmmmm....sounds possible then. I figured the buyers would probably get to keep the car but this is the first time I've seen evidence that it will be road-legal like its brother the Enzo.

I know that here in the U.S. you can get a single car approved as a relic or significant historic auto and be allowed to drive it on the road for a small number of mile per year. The FXX would certianly qualify - one of those few cars that was a super-rare classic the moment it was born.
the plot thickens...
According to the latest news, the wrecked enzo was one of 2 that ericksson brought into the states...along with an SLR. The enzo was not u.s. legal or registered and might be owned by a Scottish bank.
Also, ericksson's SLR was reported stolen to Scotland Yard...which is interesting since initial eyewitness accounts stated that the enzo was racing an SLR when it crashed.
Furthermore, a gun magazine was found among the wreckage scattered along the PCH.
And the authorities are now stating that someone may have been in the enzo with ericksson( though they still think he was driving).
Oh, and he was going 162mph...
I love a good mystery.

Looks like this guy is royally screwed...he'll lose the cars anyway.
Who ever heard of the swedish mafia? Didn't know there was one.

Didn't know there was one.Maybe the Enzo was only brought to the US as a work of static art, I can't imagine there'd be a law against that, and Ericksson saw his stolen SLR shoot past, he jumps in the Enzo 'cause nothing else is going to catch the SLR and hammers down the road after his SLR while gaining on the SLR at 162mph he takes his hand from the wheel to call the Police and looses control. A tragic accident but he was only doing his civic duty. Are you sure it was a gun magazine? I heard it was a copy of Playboy, which explains why he lost control when using one hand to phone the cops as his other hand was....busy.3rdpath said:

If it was a gun magazin the story would sound better this way:
..he takes his hand of the wheel to reach for his 9mm Glock that was stored in the glove compartment. He lost complete control over the car.....
Well, it's hardly illegal to have gun magazine in one's car...unless of course you are referring to a magazine that feeds ammunition rather than reading material? Sounds like he and some "associates" had a few drinks and decided to race the Enzo vs the SLR.
enough already
here in the states, a gun magazine is:
4. a place in a repeating rifle, a revolver, or an automatic gun from which cartridges are fed into the firing chamber.

LOL, where did you get that from? A revolver has a cylinder, not a magazine. That line sounds like something a rabid anti-gun webiste would put out.
Not trying to be a jerk btw, just thought that was funny.
Obviously this guy's ties to organized crime are going to be a big issue in the inevitable legal proceedings.

Ouch...remind me not to use them when I'm writing my thesis.

I saw a report that the Glock magazine was put into a witnesses car by an associate of the Swede when he borrowed that persons phone. The associate "Trevor" is now being sought for questioning (15 rd mags are illegal in CA except to LE and those grandfathered) by Sheriffs officials.
another update, so Ferrari spokespeople say that the Enzo can be repaired to original specs... for a mere $150-200k...

I don't believe it...link? It would probably cost that much or more just to rebuild the engine, assuming that is even possible (I doubt it).
i'd like to see this...
l.a. times reports that they believe a video was being shot from inside the enzo during the high speed romp and crash. now thats gotta be some serious footage...heck, just the audio alone has got to be astounding.
also, the times has posted a computer recreation of the crash.
link-o-rama

Did anybody see the story on CNN about this?
The guy has a really shady past and claims some German guy, who fled the scene was actually driving and they are doing DNA tests on the blood in the car. He also stated he was with homeland security, which turned out to be bogus, and he was also drunk.
I didn't read the whole thread, so forgive me if this has been said.
It's on the front page.

I couldn't get the video to work, it kept giving me the troubleshooting page. Also, from the article3rdpath said:
I don't think Ferrari has ever sold a $1m road car. I know they sell some of their older F1 cars for $1m+ (some guy bought a F2001 a year or two ago, and Evo (car magazine) got to go along for the test.)
