Worst Nightmare of a Mechanic.

A Ferrari Enzo has been left with only two wheels after a huge crash in the Netherlands. To make matters even more awkward, it seems the responsible party wasn’t an owner. According to local news outlet De Gooi-en Eemlander, the wreck happened while the Enzo was being test-driven by a mechanic from a business in nearby Hilversum on Tuesday morning. Thankfully, he’s said to have been released by medics at the scene after checks.

I understand there are many worse things in life, but I was specifically talking about the perspective of a mechanic. In that context, crashing a customer's car, especially a rare and expensive one like a Ferrari, is about as bad as it gets. I wasn't comparing it to life's greatest tragedies, but just highlighting a mechanic's worst nightmare within their professional world. Jeez, does everything really have to be explained these days?

Let's be honest, all manufacturers should do that. Would decrease the inflation of normal cars.

[@shattered831]

The thing is with cars like this the cockpit is separate from everything else rather than the conventional body over frame setup of normal cars. So a lot of the times it wouldn’t work due to frame damage. Sure the frame could be replace but most manufacturers won’t take the time to do it.

The standard gt had a massive boot space so much so that I always wondered why they didn't sacrifice some of the boot space in exchange for the rear passengers leg room as that was almost non existant and could only really accommodate a child not an adult well at least not comfortably. Unfortunately you had to be a minimum age of 25 to be eligible for insurance to drive the car and my dad had to let it go when I was 21 due to financial troublew with business so sadly I didn't have the pleasure of driving it, it sure was a fun car to be a passenger in nevertheless. My dad's was also a manual the skeletal gear gaitor and chrome gear knob were so cool along with the round smaller dials for oil temp etc. Cars of that era were just so cool and had real character.

There is way more than 400 Enzos. Someone has tracked actual on the road cars globally, and the total number of registered Enzo Ferraris is at least 650. At least 17 are total ground up factory replacement chassis cars from just a surviving VIN Tag on cars reduced to ashes and aluminum slag caused by Ferrari Spontaneous Combustion Syndrome. The Enzo gifted to The Pope is Chassis #401, for example. Ferrari constantly lies about the total production of "Limited Edition" models. If an oil sheik wants a fleet of Enzos, those are not counted in the "Official" production numbers. Pay Ferrari enough, and you can get a brand new, but unofficial F40 built, there are NDAs involved, though.

[@flexinclouds]

I was about to comment this. I love that Pagani openly does this with the endless crashed Zonda's. Not only will they repair them.. but will also let you customize & also upgrade to the latest model (which can mean a 100% new car & chassis).. And they now have a program to restore all the "boy racer" 760's back to their classy, original spec. I think Horacio's a purist, & was sad to see all the Zonda C12's, S's & F's get turned into matching, flawless 760's. Which loses the handbuilt look & imperfections from the early days.

yet another reason I do all my own repairs and maintenance

[@MarcelPolman]

The incompetence of people has made me aware of their incompetence

[@bbblahoo7]

I didn’t know they replaced the cars this is VERY interesting actually

[@robertphillips6296]

The big question is what is the Cost of Replacement?

[@mikepayne2360]

In the 80's I worked at a Porsche Audi Maserati dealership and got a friend a job there. In his first week he took a customer's original 930 Turbo on the streets without asking and t-boned another customer's Maserati leaving the dealership on his way back into the parking lot. $55k in damages. He was terminated immediately and everyone involved took him to court. He is still making tiny payments the last I heard.

This may not be all his fault, as a 37 year veteran professional driver and lifelong auto enthusiast, I clearly remember several people wrecking these cars, something must be defective in the power control system, like the power disengagement system, specifically, the clutch, that's allowing that monster engine to literally overpower the braking system, that is somehow refusing to properly disengage the engine from the drivetrain.

In the morning your life full of excitement. During the afternoon you are declaring yourself bankrupt

My buddy had an ‘03 terminator with around 550whp… the car was sick and clean (6th gear on the knob said “fuckin fast”… Got in a very small fender bender… took it to a body shop/mechanic… two weeks later got a call from the owner… owners son wrapped it around a light pole in a parking lot in a Walmart parking lot late at night. Know your mechanics if you’re going to take it to one.

[@maxtorque5329]

Vinwiki talked about this way back..Ferrari is basically lying to customers about "limited production"

[@blacksunshinegaming9315]

Ferrari is also notorious for saying a certain amount of a car was made but having that be a lie strictly to keep the illusion of rarity, not even counting rebuilt cars, they just lie about the actual production numbers.

Let the customer do the test drive

[@user-kv6wh6ez5w]

F. this Ferrari....Imagine that had happened to me in my Corolla on the way to work. That would be a catastrophe and not a toy for some rich guy who doesn't know how many cars he owns because of all the money.

[@_1onlychxrry]

Infinite car glitch??

[@captainnutzlos3816]

Here in germany he would get bürgergeld or peoplesmoney now 😂🤣

[@woohunter1]

“Mechanic took customers v12 Ferrari out for a test drive…” sounds like a joy-ride instead of test drive.

[@silvertongue3003]

Best looking Enzo I seen so far

[@30-06]

…but they will not gonna sell you high end Ferrari no matter if you are willing to pay for it, unless you buy three “lower grade” Ferrari before buying their high end models

[@HighFell]

It’s a Ferrari (inset any alternative high performance brand) most customers will crash theirs at some point. This guy went the extra mile and saved the customer the potential personal injury. 👍

[@GerbisProductions]

Is there anything worse than being a mechanic and crashing a customers car……. ….yes. It’s being a mechanic and crashing a customers car

[@patmanly3215]

I saw this happent to a Harley mechanic. He was taking a chopper he just fixed out for a test drive and another car pulled out in front of him giving him no chance to react. Car driver came out of the car yelling, "I didn't see him! I didn't see him!" He survived the impact and left in an ambulance. Don't know how well he fared at the hospital. This is why I don't ride a bike.

[@pat9353]

“Is there anything worse than crashing a customers car” yes. there are absolutely, undoubtedly, unequivocally worse things in life. In fact I’d bet that a majority of people will go through an event worse than that in their life.

[@flamestar557]

Thanks for making me realize the bigger cons of being a mechanic. No wonder there is such a low number on being one. If you have this situation happen you end up losing all that you were meant to make on the repair when having to buy the customer a new car. How shit. I hope I think of something else to be fast or I'm screwed for life. Like as a mechanic I don't plan to do bad but if I start of bad right off the bad I'll be in debt from bad repairs since all cars are different when it comes to repairs 😵‍💫

[@jakubkrcma]

Holy cow, I would never dare to test drive an Enzo on public roads. Not because of doing some stupid crap like that mechanic but because of other drivers. You never know who you meet. Some may be on drugs etc.

[@ScotlandsGold]

Amazing how much work went into digging that, Cheers for braving the cold for us💪😎

[@dewfall56]

Imagine all the hate that would come from not only the owner, but from millions of heartless people around the world, all punched onto the head of one man for being human. Seems to me like self un-aliving would be the best course of action. In the future, when you make a mistake or cause an accident, thank God for self un-alive boxes that will spare you from the intolerable backlash, shunning, and zero social score.

[@erikpetermans]

My family had that problem. We had a 360 modena going in for a normal service job. The garage ended up crashing the car and didn’t tell us anything about it. They just redirected the cost to us. Years later when we sold it the buyer said the car was crashed as he could see it in the frame. We didn’t realize and were just confused. Another couple of years later we ended up meeting a guy talking about a story like this back when he was a ferrari mechanic. Turns out it was our car. And that’s how we found out.

A Grey Poupon problem

[@jamesfair9751]

All those f40s !!!

[@thedalillama]

I bought a limited edition vehicle. They drove it 11 miles during the first service, which was basically an oil change. I complained and the dealership blew me off. I never stepped foot in that dealership again.

[@user-xd3ij7cw8s]

Worst mechanic's nightmare at expensive car dealerships. Once the most experienced mechanic in our shop experienced runaway diesel car due to intercooler oil accumulation.
