At least the guy was nice enough to wash his hands before touching the steering wheel

need a 993

Atleast it wasn't a 993!

Another driver with too much money and not enough talent!

Wonder what all the salt will do to it?? Not pretty.

So we've seen the end result? Dude is a salvage rebuilder! http://www.performanceautoworld.com/

He buys this thing, plays U-Boat captain (ala Risky Business), collects the insurance......probably more than he initially paid (?), takes the salvage back, repairs it, and............."washes" the title or sends it overseas?

The guy claims that a pelican distracted him...howver it was caught on camera and there was no pelican in sight...

^^^^^Wow.

at what speed does the rear spoiler raise? Somewhere around 130 mph?
Not totally familiar with the Veyron's details but
hmmm....

It is programmed to raise if you hit a large body of water...

I think it deploys if you select "handling" mode and can be manually raised just like the 993s. It's actually only raised slightly at top speed IIRC.

Not enough talent to stay out of the lagoon. Exit/On ramps must be a real challenge.

And you guys in the North complain about salt on the roads.

This car could fly if you put adequate aero. What we know is that it cannot swim for s#!t?
