UPDATE VIDEO OF CRASH The Dumbest Human On Earth! What A Waste Of A Million Dollars!
I cant even believe this.... I thought the moron with the F50 was dumb, but this guy takes the cake. Yes, thats a Bugatti Veyron. I would be more sympathetic if there had been a smoking hot chick in the car with him...
LA MARQUE, Texas - A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering his million-dollar sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston.
The accident happened about 3 p.m. Wednesday on the frontage road of Interstate 45 northbound in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston.
The Lufkin, Texas, man told of driving his luxury, French-built Bugatti Veyron when the bird distracted him, said La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist.
The motorist dropped his cell phone, reached to pick it up and veered off the road and into the salt marsh. The car was half-submerged in the brine about 20 feet from the road when police arrived.
Gilchrist said he doesn't know if the car was salvageable, but in his words, "Salt water isn't good for anything." He says the man, whose identity hasn't been released, was not injured.
Celebrity driver
The police declined to release the driver's name, although the incident has drawn a great deal of attention on his vehicle.
The Houston Chronicle reported the Texan has become something of a celebrity. He reportedly told the Texas City wrecker driver who towed his car that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called him Wednesday, along with several other celebrities.
“He said he was getting so many calls that he finally stopped answering his phone,” said wrecker driver Gilbert Harrison of MCH Truck and Auto, which is storing the car.
But Harrison said the driver seemed to take his very expensive mistake in stride.
“He was calm,” Harrison told the Chronicle. “If it had been me, I'd have been cussing, but he was calm. I imagine inside he was probably pretty upset.”
The Bugatti Veyron is the fastest and most expensive production car in the world.
A 2006 Bugatti Veyron was recently offered for sale in Jonesboro, Ark., for $1.25 million.

Re: The Dumbest Human On Earth! What A Waste Of A Million Dollars!
Funny... I actually at one time had the fastest car built for sale at Barrett Jackson a few years back. It was sick... Had a 1000bhp motor built by MB on a carbon fiber body... It was built for a Suadi prince... The sale was a disaster though... Car was supposed to bring according to Craig and Jim close to a million but fell on its face at 200k and change..
Here is a pic... I had a bunch of great cars there that year... If you want to see some of my others let me know...

meh...just run down to pep boys and pick up a few replacement parts, and it'll be good as new.
(seriously, what happens if you break something on a one-off car? i think if i had the money, i'd have them make it at least a two-off car.)F*S=k

Probably going to find out he is in financial trouble and wants the insurance money to make the payments.

Rust? No, that's just a little rust. Get a kid in here with a little steel wool and that'll clean right up.
