There was one down here in Mexico once. I was probably fortunate I even got to see it driven on the streets in a test demonstration, but it once it gets its kick it flies (I still think the high elevation caught it a little just after taking off).
Saw one parked outside Opium Garden/Prive in south beach... beautiful car... but its similar to the analogy of Maybach vs. Phantom. The Maybach is a technological/engineering powerhouse... but is a bit more conservative than its LOOK AT ME competition the RR Phantom. I've seen a couple of Enzo's and they have the look-at-me factor. A Veyron with just a one-tone paint job would stand out even less against the likes of Enzos and Murcielagos.
I like the big wide look of the Veyron. I imagine all that power and get goosebumps.
If/when I get rich, I'd probably get a couple of Lambo's or Ferrari's before spending over a mill on one car.
On the other hand, I say that now. Who knows how I'll think when I have money to burn.
