Our most favoritest Bugatti...

Man "intentionally" drove $2.2 million Bugatti Veyron into lake

Poor poor Andy House...

"A Texas court may soon decide if the man who drove his Bugatti Veyron into a lake was committing fraud after his insurance company claimed he crashed the car on purpose to collect $2.2 million in insurance money. Wait, it wasn't a low-flying pelican? You don't say."

Read the article, it just gets better and better!

FWIW the Veyron is cool and all that...

But it doesn't hold a candle to the vintage Bugatti's in style or grace.

YMMV

I may be jaded because I just saw a Bugatti Atalante Coupe at a car show.

Yeah, I figured he was screwed when the video came out, but he's definitely screwed with an informant coming forward to say that it's fraud.

As I responded in the other post on this, I like how the camera guy thinks it's a "Lambo".

Sometimes I wonder about you guys.

I didn't literally mean your FAVORITE Bugatti.

How can so many people that were dropped on their heads in their youth be able to own Porsches?
