I've been following this bizarre story involving a former Gizmondo executive since the incident happened. Previous links here, here, and here.

Now today, an AP newswire article, via CNN, brings us more bizarre entertainment on this story:

It's the smash up that car lovers can't seem to get enough of -- an exquisite red Ferrari, rare by even its own lofty standards, gets shredded in a 162 mph crash on Pacific Coast Highway.

First came a simple question: How could anyone plow their car into a utility pole at that speed and survive with just a cut lip, as Swedish businessman Bo Stefan Eriksson did?

From there, the case has developed more turns than the winding route authorities say Eriksson couldn't navigate on the morning of February 21.

First there was a mysterious German man named Dietrich. Eriksson told authorities he was Dietrich's passenger -- that he let Dietrich take the $1.5 million Ferrari Enzo out for a pre-dawn spin even though he didn't know Dietrich's last name or where to find him after he wrecked the car.
