Veyron also useful as submarine?

Interestingly the guy owns Performance Auto Sales which sells repaired exotic cars. Something about this smells of insurance fraud. Especially after seeing the video when he just seems to steer into the lake.
 
Must be about a billion to one chance of that.

Well, let me put it this way: He wouldn't have been filmed, if he'd been in a Golf.

But being in a Veyron means, that you can watch all of your trips on YouTube later :mrgreen:

Something also tells me they shouldn't even try to repair the damage by themselves.

Oh -- and congratulations, Texas: You made it into German headlines now ("Texan sinks 2 million dollar car in lake"): http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/0,1518,661347,00.html

If I were Bugatti, I would not sell him the parts needed to fix it.
 
He should have to drive a 1999 Hyundai Accent for the rest of his life. Period. He's destroying automotive heritage.

I also think someone should publish his identity on the internet and then send the article to all the major sports car makers -- as a warning not to sell to that guy.

Nothing hurts a rich guy more, than when he gets to hear: "Sorry, pal, we're not going to sell to you, no matter how much money you have."
 
Insurance fraud is the leading theory since the guy does own a repair shop that apparently also repaired that Enzo that was crashed by Eddie Griffin. His initial story was a low flying bird, but seeing as that theory is complete BS from the video, he must've added the "i dropped my cell phone" bit.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out in the coming weeks.
 
I don't mind so much wrecking modern exotics, cars that can be replaced. But this idiot has wrecked one-of-a-kind cars, concepts, and rare classic exotics.

I wanna punch this dude, really hard. I wouldn't even give him a ride on my bicycle. His phone might drop from his pocket and he might veer off, crash and die. Then my bicycle will get scratched.

I'd force him to drive my Saturn around.

There is no misery worse than that...my car is slower than Marlon Brando.
 
But Marlon Brando is dead!

When it comes to pelicans, you never can be too safe. Not only can they unload a nasty stain on your new paint job, but they have been known to swoop down on drivers of fancy French cars attempting to run them off the road.

This is the latest formula in pelican repellant guaranteed to keep pelicans away from you while you're driving or your money back!

How do you buy a car worth $1.5 million and still have to hold up a cell phone to talk on it? A crash causing hundreds of thousands worth of damage could have been avoided with a $40 headset.

It's a Veyron, the appropriate headset will set you back about $800.

According to this vid, the second Indigo is/was owned by Jack Roush.

That said, I don't see him owning most of the cars on that list, so I doubt he was the one that binned the Indigo, if that article is correct.

After it's been submerged into salt water and left to sit, it would be a brave or indeed foolhardy insurance company that would ever authorise a repair.

I'm guessing it's a full write-off.

Parts anyone? ;)
