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.

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.

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.

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.
