skyrider 0 #3 November 13, 2009 LOL, at Blaming a bird, then his phone....Seems that million dollar car can't drive itself! You'd think for that much money, it could! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #4 November 13, 2009 This is a perfect example of more money than brains. Saved the phone, ruined the car. It really is a waste of a very limited production car. At least when a rich jerk-off buys a yacht or a jet, they hire a professional crew to work the machinery, but when it's a Bugatti or an Enzo, suddenly just having the cash to buy it makes you a professional driver. Anyone looking for some good used Bugatti parts, I know a guy. No interior or electronics available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #9 November 14, 2009 Saw video of them towing it out of the water this morning. Looks salvageable. Only looked a bit muddy and wet. Pretty sure there's nothing a few extra bucks tossed at the local VW service center can't fix.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #10 November 14, 2009 Quote Saw video of them towing it out of the water this morning. Looks salvageable That's saltwater, so putting that thing back on the road is going to be a long haul. However, if it costs the insurance company $1.5M to total the thing, maybe $500k to clean her up is a bargain. What would an insurance company do with it if they did total it out? Put it up for auction? I wonder what the market is like for a nice Bugatti that's been submerged in saltwater? Is there a market? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belgian_Draft 0 #14 November 14, 2009 As if the salt water bath wasn't bad enough, imagine all those rocks he drove over playing a high speed drum solo on the undertray. Can't be good.

I dunno, but it's getting close to 1:1. There are enough cell phone cameras and the car screams "hey, take my picture" that it was almost inevitable even if the guy with the cell phone camera didn't have a clue what car he was shooting.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, any time I see an exotic car on the road, I have learned to be very careful of the rest of the traffic. There is usually some idiot getting video of it on his phone, wandering all over the road. Or driving like a maniac to get a better shot of it."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
