Gizmondo's Ferrari-Crashing Exec Goes Free
In case you still cared about the Ferrari crashing, money embezzling, portable gaming device making Gizmondo exec, Stefan "Fat Stefan" Eriksson has just been set free from jail. If you're worried that he'll be back up to his old ways, driving around roads tearing cars in half, he's now awaiting transport to either Sweden or Germany, because he's no longer welcome in the US. Kinda like his Gizmondo gadget, we'd say. [The Local via Jalopnik]

Trevor Michael Karney, or the make-believe Dietrich of Gizmondo fame, has just been sentenced to 30 days in prison plus 3 years probation for giving false information to the popos. Bo Stefan Eriksson, the other man in the car at the time of the 162mph Ferrari Enzo crash, is still serving his 3-year prison sentence—undoubtedly making shivs and other self- defense weaponry as opposed to lousy handheld consoles.

This here is the world's first Ferrari 360 Modena converted to a gullwing stretch limo. It's 23 feet long, but with 400HP, goes zero to 60mph in about 6 seconds. These mods, and the extra 6 Recaro seats, cost £200k. Sounds like a deal to me. We've got one more photo of the gullwing in full splendor, but Gizmag, who broke the story, has a few more photos.

Ferrari and Meridian Empty Your Savings with F80 All-in-One Entertainment Center
Now that they've dipped their toes into the world of laptops and cell phones, Ferrari is teaming up with Meridian to tackle the world of home entertainment with their new F80 do-it-all entertainment center.
