Man Drives $2M Car (Bugatti Veyron) into La Marque Lake

molamann · 11-14-2009, 07:51 AM

I'm quite surprised how there's an actual footage of the crash... with comments!

LOL!
"I'm pretty sure that's a lambo"
"OH SHITTTT, OH SHITTTT!"
Priceless...

Some background on the guy:
~He owns a exotic/supercar repair shop, basically fixes up these cars and sells them
~The Bugatti was his own, not a company car
~From the video it looks like he got distracted and just slowly went off the road
~A side note, that Ferrari Enzo that Eddie Griffin crashed was also owned by this guy

Oh well he's probably so rich that he'll get another one within a month or two...

Just amazing...

One thing about youtube, one person posts a new video, 20 people will repost it.

how fast are you suppose to go on access roads anyways?

dcrew1x · 11-15-2009, 08:10 PM

That's just sad. He MUST have money to throw away; maybe wipes his *** with a few benjamins instead of charmin...

In that area, speed limit is probably no more than 55MPH on that road.

I call bull*** There just happens to be video of this happening, randomly. The guy just happens to restore exotic cars that have been damaged . . .

I'd rather watch balloon boy . . .

I've had people randomly take pics of my Z. I don't find it so far fetched that people would take pics/vid of a Veyron when they spot one.

Happened in TX too

I was think the same as what spearfish25 was think, that this guy salvaged this car to claim insurance, then he'll buy it back and restore at pennies on the dollar. However, he's pretty dumb to let the motor run to suck in all the water.
