Bugatti's Latest Veyron, Most Ridiculous Car on the Planet?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the gas-guzzlers-that-make-your-eyes-bleed dept.

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."

    Anyone care to spot me the $2.1 million and a bit of gas money? :-)

    Would you say all that in the poor guy's face? I bet you wouldn't. Watch your language. You are incredibly rude to him. Ignorance is not the same as stupidity. You are stupid to post such language; the guy you answered is just ignorant.

    I've run out of mod points, so I'll just congratulate you on saying what needed to be said. One thing: if I knew who the grandparent was, I'd certainly never get in a car with him. With anger management issues like those, he'd most like be a terrifying driver.
