Bugatti's Latest Veyron, Most Ridiculous Car on the Planet?
Wired has an amusing writeup that accurately captures the most recent ridiculous addition to Bugatti's automobile catalog. The $2.1 million Veyron sports over 1,000 horsepower, a 16-cylinder engine, and a top speed of 245 mph. The guilty conscience comes for free. "That same cash-filled briefcase could buy seven Ferrari 599s or every single 2009 model Mercedes. You could snap up a top-shelf Maybach and employ a chauffeur until well past the apocalypse. Hell, in this economy, $2.1 million is probably enough to make you a one-man special-interest group with some serious Washington clout."
Yeah, like they gonna sell millions of these. Keep your commie green cool aid to yourself, eh, monkey boy?!
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
Ummm ... so you are saying that all of those poor people suffering from famine, war and disease in Africa are unfit to be parents?
Anyway, my question was not whether they have a responsibility to feed them. My question is whether you would feel the slightest guilty if you were in that situation.
How about the fact that the Bugatti is a far better car in every way than ALL the mercedes models combined.
the Article poster is being ridiculous, why not compare it to the number of Honda-fit's it can buy.
The Veyron can kick the ass of the fastest Fararri by a HUGE margin. Hell it eats all other car makers supercars by a HUGE margin. It is where supercars should be right now. Not like the joke that is the GTR skyline, the Audi R3 or other economy priced "used to be super" cars.
Plus the price is dead on the mark for a hand made custom, which is what the Veyron is. The car is designed for those that have far more money than most here can imagine. Dropping under $2.5 mill on a sportscar is nothing to those that drop $10-$15Mill on their skiing villa in Aspen.
It's designed for those that make more in a day on a 0.25% savings account in interest than almost all of you make in a year.
P.S. the Veyron is not a ridiculous car. it was designed as a supercar.
The Rolls Royce Drophead is the words most ridiculous car. It's a joke. Basically a convertible land yacht that steers like a cow and has medicore performance at best.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
There is only one reason to key a car. It's to teach those "I need to take up multiple parking spaces so no one scratches my car fuckers." a lesson. Every time I see a nice car parked taking up multiple spaces in a crowded parking lot....S C R A A A A A T T T C C C H H H H H ! ! ! ! !
Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
