Saw a Bugatti Veyron on the street last night:

Saw it driving on Wilshire between Westwood and BH. I was driving behind or next to it the whole way until he turned on Beverly Dr. Unfortunately, I do not carry a camera all the time and did not bother with a cell phone pic. It was pearl white metallic. There were several vehicles chasing it through the Wilshire corridor trying to get a better look or a picture w/ cell phones. Good thing the guy was not trying to lose them; an SUV full of young car nuts is no match for a 250 mph, 0-60 in 2 seconds Veyron.

I got next to it at the red light in front of the Beverly Hilton and exchanged smiles and a wave w/ the driver, (owner?), he was a nicely dressed black guy whom I did not recognise. (Didn't look like a rapper).

Even in L.A. where expensive/exotic cars are a dime a dozen, that thing is a superstar. People were chasing it down the street like it was the Beatles. An Enzo would not get bothered like that here. It was a trip.

Here is the car description:
