Not a graceful end either. Hit a Vauxhall Astra van and then some trees.

I am glad the pregnant lady seemed to be alright.

Wonder if Earl Scheib or MAACO (or the English equivalent) have ever done work on a Bugatti . . .
Bad week for exotic cars . . . just a few days ago, I saw a news story about a fellow stateside who'd thoroughly wrecked his Lamborghini . . .

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

About a year ago, someone plowed into a tree with an original Shelby Cobra and destroyed it and themselves, too, in S. Florida.

I read that yesterday. Man, that is so sad that it's funny. It'll probably cost as much as the original price just to fix the thing. Oops.

Somewhere, an automotive insurance agent is either weeping or giggling.
I just don't know enough about insurance to know which.

Probably weeping since the cost to repair/replace that machine likely exceeds the cumulative payments to date.

I wonder what the annual premium is for a car like the Veyron . . . probably a case of "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

I expect nobody would insure it outside of Lloyd's of London.
