Ok who's the Uboat Commander?

Horrible, horrible scam. So a Veyron drives into a pond............somewhat skeptical. But wait, there is somebody there who just happens to video tape it.........[cough] BS [/cough].

One of two outcomes. Somebody with too much money has decided that they want to be the next youtube sensation, or they are going to end up in jail for insurance fraud.

 

Seriously? What are the odds???

 

WOW! The story has been sent to me a hundred times today because all my peeps know that I'm a 'car guy'. The crash vid completes it!~

This answers the question about the spoiler being up......obviously happened after the crash. I was guessing his speed to be a factor since the spoiler goes up over 140 or something like that....

You can see in the video that right as he is about to enter the water, he has the wheel cranked HARD right.....doesn't do a darn thing. Such a waste of a gorgeous car!

I did not see a bird in the video.
Methinks the owner wishes this video did not exist.
Wonder how much of a project to restore?
And how cheap can it be picked up for?

 

Who's the u-boat captain?

 

I was literally thinking the exact same thing.

 

The odds are astronomical but then again, I don't think its improbable, just amazingly lucky that that dude was videoing at that precise moment. I would consider videoing if I saw an Enzo on the road. The Bugatti is so hyper rare that seeing one in the wild would be worthy of wasting some pixels on.

IMHO

ps, the story has changed to that the owner has said that he fumbled his cell phone.

And no, there was no Dietrich involved.

How do you guys have hundreds (!?thousands?!) of posts to fchat and not already know this has been posted.

Yes. It’s all over the net. Including the video of the Bugatti Veyron being driven into the water.

I guess I have to say Big Freakin' Deal. But, I guess it’s something you don’t see everyday.

I'm just glad the guy (idiot) driving didn't take someone out.

 

Look at the actual video of him DRIVING straight off the road, no swerving, no brakes etc........
That's what you get for TEXTING WHILE DRIVING

 

I surely did not see the aforementioned brown pelican that supposedly got in the way

 

So true. Not in this case, but it applies to taste too.

wheres the Pelican??

 

I don't spend a whole lot of time researching other areas of the forum before replying to local posts. That would seem a little silly.

 

Maybe the saltwater wreaked havoc on the cars electrical system, and perhaps couldn't be turned off even? (until it died 15 minutes later).

 

Had a chance to ride in this car (only in the garage unfortunately) prior to the sell of it to this unfortunate owner. It was parked next to my GT at our recent rally in Austin, TX in October. Yes, I was a little nervous opening the doors!!! Absolutely stunning...very sad day...this car is a technological masterpiece...lesson, don't yap on your cell phone while driving!!

i smell ins fraud,,''u-boat thing'' is from the movie ''risky bussiness'',,when the wet 928 porsche gets to ''highland park'' porsche dealer and they open the door and all the water runs out

 

That'll affect his rates....

 

I've seen a similar car w/ same color combo driving around Dallas.

 

Not a Pelican in sight!

Next stop E-Bay?

 

Spoiler doubles as an attachment for the wakeboard rope. Much like a tower on a Mastercraft. They do need to add some speakers so the rider can hear the music while riding.

 

Is his company the same one that bought that wrecked enzo and put it back together? This one will be a challenge.

 

The story continues to get more interesting.....
