Moments before he landed his Bentley car ready to bury....it was then that he made a statement that he would not bury his car and then revealed his true motive behind the whole thing was to create awareness for organ donation.
"People condemn me because I wanted to bury a million dollar Bentley, in fact most people bury something more valuable than my car" Scarpa said during a speech at the ceremony.
"They bury hearts, livers, lungs, eyes, kidneys. This is bullshit. So many people are waiting for transplants and burying them with their healthy organs that could save so many lives!!"
