It's always sad when bad things happen to rich people.

HAHA! All that money and still can't drive in a strait line. There are no curved roads in Texas.

Haha. That thing has more horsepower than Jesus but it still can't walk on water.

Laugh and drive away in my other one. If you can afford 1, you probably can afford two. Insurance claim!

i thought this was funny:
Wiki said:
The cost of the first scheduled service on a Veyron is £13,645 ($22,322), with later services getting more expensive. Tyres need to be replaced approximately every 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi). The cost of tyres for a Veyron is £6,325 ($10,347) a set, and they can be fitted only by Bugatti. Bugatti says that labour is the bulk of the cost at £6,000 ($9,815), which also includes checking the many complex systems on the car. At every third tyre change, the roadwheels must be replaced. The cost to extend the original two-year new car warranty is £38,000 ($62,164) for 1 year, and £63,000 ($103,062) for 2 years.

Remember that episode of Top Gear where Jeremy tried to insure the Veyron?

It's sad and irritating that someone would drive one of these cars into a lake due to negligence but, damn, I wouldn't revel in the fact just because the guy is rich. I wouldn't assume that people with money are necessarily bad people.

I have to say that if I had the money for a Veyron, I would have a huge list of other cars I would buy first.

Oddly enough, just saw a red Veyron here in the dirtbag capital of the world.

With $100k and a few weeks spent at the Nelson compound
I could blow a $1 mil Veyron away.
Much as I love cars, there's more important things to spend big bux on.
