Lindsay Lohan Photo

Lindsay Lohan's former black 2005 Mercedez Benz is up for sale on eBay. You'll need at least $116,100 - for the infamous car in which Lindsay got a DUI back on May 26th, 2007. An "anonymous seller" purchased the car and had it repaired at an auto shop in Houston Texas.

Get in on the action at eBay by clicking here. Note the car is pure stock, bling free and 6207 miles. You never know, you might just find a secret compartment containing _________ (I'll let you fill in the blanks)

How often do you get the chance to bid on a car with it's own youtube video showing a 20 yr old underage drunk driver who flees the scene of the accident and is too high on coke to remember to grab her stash? Those poor trees.

Now that you know where to get one, make like this fellow and drive it like this guy did in this internet classic video way back in 1976. Nice twist at the end -it all suddenly makes sense, doesn't it?

More details on the film here. Comment about it.

Supposedly pictures don't do this car much justice - you've got to see one in person to really appreciate this supercar.   enzo

The Enzo (named after the founder of Ferrari) was styled by Italian designer Pininfarina and comes in either red or yellow. It has a downward sloping nose with a rear spoiler that only pops up at speeds over 140mph. I've always wondered what a state trooper thinks when one cruises doing the normal speed limit with that rear spoiler up?

In terms of performance, the Enzo is as close to Formula One as any car gets. Its got a V-12 engine that sits in the middle of the car and pumps out 650 horsepower and does o-60 in 3.1 secs! Steering-wheel paddles are used to shift the six-speed sequential manual transmission. Only 400 of these were ever built. We're not sure what number this one is as the eBay listing is a bit scant on details. We're also not sure why the transmission is listed as automatic. Hmmmmmm....

 Base price circa 2002/2003: $675,000.

Base price now: At least $1.35M, given you can find one. The reserve has already been met on this listing and there's still 8 days to go! We'll keep a close eye on this one.          See more pics at the original listing here.

If you do get one though - make sure to drive it like this.
