Re: [AMC-list] bugatti veyron crashes in salt marsh here

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

eh, he can afford it.

I'd love to drive one, of course, but even if $1M was chickenfeed to me (!),
I'd be embarrassed to own one. It's a USELESS car, a codpiece. It's cheaper
to stuff socks down your pants. It weighs a ton. 'distracted by a pelican',
what's he doing (1) sightseeing at speed (2) driving that fast where crap
can appear in the road? I have no mercy or sympathy for people like this.
Doesn't even look like he was going very fast, he was probably diddling his
cellphone.

Pretty darn funny though!!
