Anyone need a parts car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcom8_ArYA8 looks alot like the Ferrari in Plano Tx a few months ago. Steve
I would hope if I were ever in the same situation that I would have the presence of mind to turn the engine off.
Nope. Saltwater lagoon, you don't want any chance the insurance company won't total it. If, of course, it's insured. I'm sure zillionaires self-insure.
I wonder if people actually run carfax or NICB reports when they buy Veyron's. I'm sure they will now!
Daaaamn. I didn't know there was a local Veyron. Seeing it in that video proves to me it does likely look a lot better in person. I must say it looks pretty sharp in that video (sans mud and water).
Why? His insurance guy must love him...huge premiums before, with huge commissions. Now moving up to astronomical. His insurance company, on the other hand...well, I bet they will try to weasel out of it or cap it somehow.

Using only a cell phone and a pelican, man turns his $2 Million Bugatti into a submarine! sucks for someone...
When you forget to turn the engine off, that can happen (locked rear wheels....) Lufkin, Texas owner....read somewhere.
