Ronald Tridico's dream went off the road Friday -- and so did his $400,000 Lamborghini.

Just two days after shelling out a chunk of change, his brand-new yellow sports car flew around a curve on State Road 429 and crashed. The Florida Highway Patrol says Tridico was speeding when he took the curve and lost control. He overcorrected and skidded 1,200 feet before the crash.

The 39-year-old Windermere resident told troopers that another vehicle had cut him off. But judging by the skid marks, authorities didn't believe him.

Comedian Eddie Grifffin has him covered. He crashed and totaled his Enzo Ferrarri a few months back. 1.5 million out the door.

What an IDIOT! Like the trooper said, just because you can afford to buy one does not mean you know how to drive one. Pitiful, just pathetic.

As for that Enzo that was totalled - I thought he was doing that for a promo on a movie that he was doing and the producer owned the car and he was having him drive it around the track???

You are correct, that was definitely not Eddie's Enzo. As for $1.5 million, that price was grossly exaggerated in the media. Enzos certainly aren't a dime a dozen, but a red one (most common color, by far) that had been driven much would be closer to $900k.
