Former video game company executive Stefan Eriksson has admitted he was behind the wheel of his $1.2 million Ferrari Enzo when it crashed at 162 mph on the Pacific Coast Highway two months ago. Until now, Eriksson claimed an unknown man named “Dietrich” had been driving the car. Eriksson is charged with drunk driving for having a blood alcohol level of .093 after the accident. In addition to that charged, Eriksson also faces charges of embezzlement, grand theft, drunk driving and illegal gun possession. Eriksson’s other Ferrari Enzo and his Mercedes SLR were recently confiscated by law enforcement officials. It’s believed that all three of his exotic cars were “stolen” from Europe.

benzin190e ,
You ship them to the US via boat without telling the bank you are financing them from that you are taking them out of Europe and stop paying the car payment bills, then lie to US importation / motor vehicle officials and state that they are ‘show cars only’ and that you will not drive them on US streets.
That’s how.

I think (at least the pics of his wife’s SLR had) they just kept the Euro license plates on the car.
