Default Bugatti Veyron

I'm sure this is some form of repost but that's ok.

Who watches Top Gear?


Discuss.

It's fast and I would like to hit 253mph. Top Gear rocks my socks.

I've seen a red/black one and a grey one in the los angeles area. I wouldn't mind hitting 250 mph in one of those.

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).

Scott Storch has one of those, they just featured it in the latest DUB issue. I think it said it goes 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

It's a great technological marvel.

If I had the money, would I buy it ? No. I have other cars in mind...

If I won it, would I keep it? Yes.

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.
