A. Punch them Guido... Punch them in the face!

B. The Japanese translation of "The man who dies with the most toys, wins" was done incorrectly...

C. You're not supposed to chew the gumball before the rally.

...and I stand corrected, the Japanese need to wreck another dozen to catch up to this guy.

BTW - he's being investigated for insurance fraud (http://jalopnik.com/5863531/man-intentionally-drove-22-million-bugatti-veyron-into-lake)

Yup i don't read up a whole lot on the news we don't have cable or even public access TV. I am always a few days behind on stuff but that is because i don't like hearing about all of the negative things going on around the world as that's all the news cares to broadcast. And as for the internet news goes i am always behind because i have been a floor mechanic for the last 6 years spending time online like i do now was not familiar to me so i don't know all of the good websites.

Three things....

1. That will not be yours one day

2. A lambo? Are you fucking kidding me dude?? anyone who knows anything about cars can sniff a fucking Bugati Veyron from miles away.

3. :puke: why...that poor poor beautiful car

Also that reaction is pretty cavalier to what really happened makes me think it was staged.

Read another story on it and the driver said " i was trying to avoid a pelican and veered off into the lake"

I saw no pelican in the video and those are some big damn birds.

The vette video above reminds me of my young and dumb days. In the racing scene there was a kid (18 or 19) that would show up occasionally with "his" (read: his dad's) supercharged vette.

Long story short he raced a friend of mine and promptly slid the back out and went careening into the ditch. We never saw him again after that.

"Police and video reports say the wreck began when a 60-year-old businessman from Fukushima driving a Ferrari F430 attempted to pass a Toyota Prius, but instead hit the guardrail. That set off a chain reaction among the cars driving in a tight formation..."

"The Prius sustained some rear bumper damage, but escaped relatively unharmed."
