Vroom!
I know there is a "dream car" thread around here, somewhere, but it proves elusive this morning. It matters not, anyway, because the Bugatti Veyron is it. By "it", I mean "beautiful", "excessive", and "pure insanity". I simply cannot fathom what it must be like to get behind the wheel of this vehicle.

there's a Top Gear episode featuring the Veyron
one of those races across Europe -- this time vs. a plane... ;) edit: the link to the video http://www.dumpalink.com/media/11362..._Veyron_Review |
Dream Car

Now the above is a dream car! 1978 Volare. That had more hoses and tubes than any car ever made. It didn't go over 120 mph, but you could move all your crap around in it. |
Good lord...do you realize what this means? It means I can make the 20 mile drive to work in 4.8 minutes! Does it have a cupholder for my coffee?
|
Yes. It has a viscous-dampened gyroscopic tilting mechanism that tilts the cup forwards at high speeds, backwards in heavy braking, and from side to side in turns. You'll never spill your coffee again.

This article was posted two hours ago, which means that if my erection doesn't go down for another two hours I'll have to seek medical assistance.
|
That's not a malady, that's a feature. You *need* five appendages to drive something like that...and the large, swollen cajones that go with them.
|
I want...
A red VW Microbus with shovels and rakes and implements of deestruction... Either that or Prince's motorcycle. |
Tank.

Hmmm.....810,345 pounds is $1,489,008.
Add 6% sales tax which is $89,340, it comes to $1,578,348. And gas guzzler tax (I assume at maximum rate:rolleyes: ) of $7,700 to make it $1,586,048. I suppose there would be postage and handling added..... so call it roughly $1.6 million. Now the expensive part....insurance.....that might be a deal breaker. But if I could rent it to NASA as a back-up for the Shuttle...hmmmm. Unfortunately, driving it around this part of the country would be extremely frustrating. But if I could afford the car, I could afford to keep it at the ranch....next to Letterman in Montana. |
The Top Gear item made the observation that although the Veyron costs about a million to buy, the actual build cost is some 5 million. Thus, VAG lose 4 million on each car......
