I do not have economic problems. I simply had an accident, that's all, caused by a moment of inattentiveness. I'll just use the blue one while the grey one is drying out.

This "funny" incident is most likely going to end up being prosecuted, just like the balloon-boy incident. The fact that there was someone conveniently filming it for YouTube is statistically remarkably suspect. The YouTube video also disproves the driver's original claims about a pelican.
The driver of the Bugatti Veyron has been identified being Andy House, the owner of Performance Auto Sales in Lufkin, a company that restores wrecked exotic vehicles.
Hmmm? A guy that fixes exotic automobiles for a living, wrecks one, and then get's to fix it??? If fraudulent insurance claims are made, regarding this incident, it is going to be dragged on for some time in the courts, and on the news.

My favorite feature is the Top Speed Key, as seen on Top Gear. You lift a "secret" access panel, turn a key, and it enables the vehicle's suspension to drop to 3.5", and a spoiler to engage to help with the aerodynamics when traveling above 140mph. Just like a good TV should!!

My CRV has one of those and with it engaged I can get up to about 92 with a good tail wind!
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

That adds an interesting twist to the story - I had assumed that the fact that the accident was "caught on tape" was simply because some Car Guys had spotted a very rare sports car and were taping it just to prove they had seen one?? I mean, had that gone by while we were driving down the road, Dear Hubby would have needed a neck brace after suffering a double-take whiplash ogling something like that.....LOL!!
