3/27    "Comedian Eddie Griffin Wrecks $1.5M Car"
        video: link:www.yahoo.com/s/542098
        story: link:www.yahoo.com/s/542099
        Watching the video, I'm not so sure whether it's bad driver or bad
        car.  It shouldn't have been that tight of a turn at that speed for an
        Enzo to make, even for a bad driver.
        \_ The driver makes a racist remark, implying that blacks can't
           drive. But ya I agree that the turn could and should have been
           made easily. He panicked the last turn, hit the brake, but by
           then it was too late.
           \_ I think he was just joking when he said "Brothers can't drive,"
              referring to his role in the movie Undercover Brother.
           \_ I think he was just joking when he said "the Brother can't
              drive," referring to his role in the movie Undercover Brother.
        \_ oh no, this must be stopped! Join our strugle to save the Enzos
           while there is still some time left!

        \_ You might have missed the point.  Hiring a chauffeur to drive your

           \_ So you have to compress it, which results in huge explosions
              during a crash. Same for flywheel tech.

jpg You picked it, and now it's here, the shirt we all hope will ease the world's Enzo crisis. Right now, somewhere on planet earth, there's an Enzo in trouble. Its owner is an overzealous nitwit, whose skills behind the wheel can't possibly match the capabilities of this late-model supercar, and yet he insists on going to the limit. But it only takes a second, 150 mph and an errant burro to cause an irreversible drop in the Enzo population. With your help, we can prevent the ruthless Dietriching of the world's Enzos. Won't you please do your part to save these troubled cars from extinction? SwatLax says: Any chance the t-shirt will be re-freshed on a semi-annual or annual basis? Jalopnik should do everything it can to have nothing in common with the formerly long-suffering Chevy Cavalier - so that means no badge-engineered "Save the MC12" variations either! Scott Kidder says: Hey guys -- a few notes: * Sizes: If there are sizes you'd like to see, please comment here or email shopping AT gawker DOT com. We're working on a system that will make slogan submission and voting easier. eVox says: I like the way it came out, even though it wasnt what I voted for. I was about to buy one but then I saw that with shipping it is $26! Seriously, I've designed/had shirts made before and 50 in bulk cost about $8 each. I'm a poor college student, and even though I love jalops, I cant justify this price over paying for materials to redo my car interior... Judd Sandage says: yeah I would love to buy one, if it were offered in a 5x size at least, AND NO fuggin TALL sizes. and yeah red is not my fav color for a shirt but I can live with it, hell I will buy 2 of them .
