Mansion Boat

There's been a saga unfolding the last few days over a $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron that was crashed into a saltwater lake. A video of the event has now, ahem, surfaced, and it's as heartbreaking as you might expect.

Of course they'll reject any claim. But if he could buy a 1.4 million dollar sports car, I'm certain he won't be in the poor house because of the repair bill.

Is this the thread where I make a smug post in response to some rich guy crashing his expensive car? Because, you know, the poor guy who crashes his inexpensive car -- obviously he's the better man. Cuz you know... the rich man should have known better and the poor man had it coming... wait

How a 34-year old guy makes enough money fixing salvage vehicles to afford a Veyron and a Enzo is interesting. I think this will turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to him after the media gets done digging through this guy's skeleton closet.

The SCC Ultimate Aero TT would like a word with you.

Also you mean the fastest production car. Outside of production cars is where the crazy fast speed is.

Well, it's kind of a given, isn't it?

I would call everyone on my contacts list, saying "hey, guess what? Know what I'm doing right now? I'm driving my Bugatti Veyron... while I'm talking to you. While driving my Bugatti Veyron. Now how does that make you feel? Cause I know how it makes ME feel!"

we now know the man is Andy House of Performance Auto Sales in Lufkin, Texas. The shop, ironically coincidentally , specializes in repairing wrecked exotics.

Anyone to be that careless with a car that expensive is a fucking retard, and doesn't deserve the car

did you see that he is in the business of restoring wrecked exotic cars?

I doubt this was due to carelessness.

No, I believe one of the articles says he also owns that wrecked Ferrari Enzo (that he restored). I wonder if the Veyron was even his, or if he needed some insurance money and just decided he could pocket the money and restore the car, or if the insurance company would repay the owner in full and he can buy the "wrecked vehicle" at a discount to restore

Video's gone, but I'm sure if I saw it happening I wouldn't even be confident enough to venture a guess at it being a Lamborghini or any other make. Do I need to hand in my man license for not giving a damn?

No, but I'd hope you'd be man enough to admit you can't name it rather than speaking and being an idiot.

Only if the police are around.

What? You think people who blow 1 million+$ on a car drive the speed limit all the time? Hell, I drive cars with a much slower top speed way faster than 65.

Yep, that is what I'm talking about. My point was I expect men to know what the fastest car that can be purchased is. Once you get into ridiculous prototypes and limited cars it's all hearsay as to which one is "faster" anyways.
It's SSC by the way, not SCC.

Seeing the Aero at an SCC event would be pretty damn ridiculous, though. :D

Even with the police around, that car is way faster than anything they're driving (though, it is pretty distinctive, and he'll have to stop for gas at some point, so...yeah)
