Oh, I'm not saying it's not real, I'm saying it was done on purpose

Yep. Give it a week or so. Guy who owns a Veyron AND just happens to own one of the largest exotic car salvage companies drives his Veyron into a marsh. He's trying to make some cash knowing he can restore his baby. Someone explain why he's driving on the little service road instead of the main highway.

On the flip side, I'm not sure how his insurance could ever prove he did it on purpose to get out of paying him. That being said, I'm also not sure how conflict of interest works with this situation. My guess is that insurance companies won't pay a client's own shop to repair the car. If they 'total' the car, the car is the property of the insurance company. If he collects damages, he could potentially repair it for much less than what the quoted damage is.

+ how will he explain the "pelican" when the video says otherwise?
