Probably upwards of $80,000 for that minor thing.

Wasn't he already sideways in the middle of the track at the start of the video? Then he thought it would be a good idea to see what would happen if he mashed the gas again huh?

It's a shame that most the examples of this amazing car are probably owned by tools like this.

an absolute shame

Just realized for the first time that it looks like it is/was raining in the pic I posted. Why on earth would anyone take a million dollar car out in the rain?

Maybe its just me. But I think theses cars are kinda ugly for the price tag they have on them. I honestly think our cars look A LOT better. But with Bugatti's I guess its more of a power thing rather than looks

^you think an Evo looks better than a Bugatti? What are you smoking? The evo is a ****ing ugly box with a few nice accents, what makes it look 'good' is what it represents, not its lancer-like styling. I highly doubt most people here bought their evo for looks.

I will say they looked a bit weird to me at first, but the veyron's looks have really grown on me especially that picture of the one on the salt flats floating around

Edit: Pic I was talking about...

I agree, for upwards of a million dolllars, the car is fugly. Maybe not compared to an Evo (which I did really buy 75% for looks ) but definitely compared to other million dollar cars. Never really like the Veyron anyway. If someone handed me the EXACT value of a Veyron and told me I had to buy a car with it all, and anything not spent on a car got thrown away, I'd buy a Carrera GT, GT3, or Turbo... But what can I say, I'm a fanboy. Either that or a Murceilago (spl?), just, you know, a car I would never ever buy unless I had a butt load of money to spend on one.

The interior is where the Bugatti shines, also in the performance side.


The interior is more plush than a ferrari, faster than any production car next to the CCX. (Don't bull**** with kitcars)

For the price your getting something really nice.

And don't tell me 30K evo + 100K in mods

True that. I see where you're coming from.


I'd have my eyes on CCX or a Zonda for the cool factor/performance.

This is the reason douchebags shouldn't have money. There should be a douchebag taxation law that strips idiots like this of their money.

I have a funny story to tell...I was reading a magazine in the doctors office once, and there was an article about Pierce Brosnan. Not a big fan, but I found it to be interesting when I caught this article out of the corner of my eye.

He said he was on a trans-continental flight and the pilot was aware that he was there. He asked a flight attendant to come back and bring Pierce up to the cockpit.

He came up, introduced himself and the pilot said "Hey, take a seat!"

So he sits down, flies for a few minutes and says "Yeah, that was great...."

The pilot and he get up and head back out of the cockpit and the pilot says " So, how long have you been flying?"

Pierce looks over and says "Flying? F*CK MAN, I don't fly unless Im in the passenger seat!"

The fact that he played James Bond must've perpetuated that idea, however....

more often than not people assume that because people have status, AND money (mostly because of money), they are trained, intelligent and skilled.


NOT!
