"Dietrich" sentenced to jail for Gizmondo crash

Trevor Michael Karney – aka, The Elusive Dietrich – has been sentenced to jail by an LA judge for misleading police in the 162MPH crash of that $1.5 million Gizmondo Ferrari Enzo. Besides lying to police about his involvement as a passenger, the 27-year old German playboy also fled to Ireland before sneaking back into the US through the Mexican border in search of some tasty bud and cool waves. The sentence? 30 days, which roughly translates to a punishment of tickling by virgins until the onset of bellyache by the time the appeals process is through.

I'm sure he's in a whole lot more $h1t because he destroyed the Enzo.

[Johnny Appleseed @ Sep 18th 2007 11:50AM]

Wow. How come Gizmodo CEO's get to Drive Ferrari's. Do Engadget CEO's also get to drive Ferrari's?

[imacmatt09 @ Sep 18th 2007 11:54AM]

Gizmondo not Gizmodo, idiot.

[strider_mt2k @ Sep 18th 2007 11:57AM]

The only thing crashing over at Gizmodo is the comments system.

C'mon folks!

[Alan Partridge @ Sep 18th 2007 12:02PM]

Zing!

[GazzyC @ Sep 18th 2007 2:11PM]

HAHAHA classic!

[Chris Macdonald @ Sep 18th 2007 4:13PM]

yeah can anyone explain to me how to comment over at Gizmodo? I'd ask there, but, y'know, I can't comment....

That picture is a classic, I love the mini-bottle of jim bean

[kevjohn @ Sep 18th 2007 12:10PM]

That's Jack Daniels!
...not that I would know that from any large amount of alcohol consumption or anything. Why is everybody always picking on me?? Come here, JD. You're my only real friend. :-(

[R @ Sep 18th 2007 12:38PM]

"Hand me that bottle of John Daniels, son."

"Um, you mean Jack Daniels . . . ?"

Even if it was "The Jimster" it's Jim BEAM. Jim BEAN is my uncle when he gets musical.

[Pedro @ Sep 18th 2007 12:10PM]

He should be sent to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison!

[John Doe @ Sep 18th 2007 4:03PM]

Its a fucking car. As long as everyone is alive who gives a shit.

[Pedro @ Sep 18th 2007 4:12PM]

It was an Office Space reference. Chill.

[James @ Sep 18th 2007 12:23PM]

@ Pedro sounds like you've done time. Any special inmates you'd request for this guy? Possibly the one that pounded you?

[August @ Sep 18th 2007 1:10PM]

Not.

Funny.

[Kax02 @ Sep 19th 2007 3:29PM]

Nice lack of determination to figure out when someone's quoting a movie.

Apparently Office Space was before your time or you missed out on a great office comedy.

[imacmatt09 @ Sep 18th 2007 12:24PM]

"...in search of some tasty bud and cool waves."

What kind of bud are you talking about ;)

[Beamey @ Sep 18th 2007 1:53PM]

Bud Lite. They don't have it in Ireland.

[John @ Sep 18th 2007 5:23PM]

Seeing as how the Irish drink real beer, that's right. They wouldn't have it so long as they're true Irish.

[Anthony Vello @ Sep 18th 2007 12:35PM]

Off with his head!

Wish I could have scored a piece of the wreckage.

[Joseph @ Sep 18th 2007 12:46PM]

"...sneaking back into US the through the Mexican border..."

[pr_master @ Sep 18th 2007 12:48PM]

Why people think any name using the
word Gizmo is good? Gizmodo, Gizmondo

A company/product called Gizmondo was going
to fail no matter what.

lame names, ahahaha

[souravgh @ Sep 18th 2007 12:49PM]

[WhiteStar @ Sep 18th 2007 1:44PM]

A German going back to the US for the beer? Haha, good one.

[jessy @ Sep 18th 2007 2:37PM]

[Kevin @ Sep 18th 2007 2:02PM]

That is why Gizmodo is teh suck

[John @ Sep 18th 2007 4:16PM]

[Godz @ Sep 18th 2007 3:54PM]

Send Gizmodo to jail.

[Kax02 @ Sep 19th 2007 3:32PM]

Apparently he wasn't the only one drinking.

Gizmodo? no we're talking about Gizmondo say it with me. Gizmondo.

Amazing how an N changes it from being a tech site to a portable gaming company based on open source standards. :O

[SeanG @ Sep 18th 2007 4:53PM]

Yet another post with my cake!
I may not have won the grand prize but damned if my cake didn't have legs.

[Rick B. @ Sep 18th 2007 6:48PM]

[zam786 @ Sep 19th 2007 5:20AM]

Who's the Beeacht now

[Scott @ Sep 19th 2007 10:20AM]

Thomas Ricker's writing is brilliant.

[Cyclotron @ Sep 19th 2007 3:42PM]

30 days is not easy.

[tchiseen @ Sep 20th 2007 3:00AM]

"30 days, which roughly translates to a punishment of tickling by virgins until the onset of bellyache..."


Sounds like fun, unless the virgins are 7'0" tall gangsters named 'Tiny' who have a penchant for Germans who giggle. Then it's not so fun. Unless you're German.
