Bugatti Veyron in the lake!!!!

[DRJDVM's '69]

Saw the video now...that is awesome.

Its one thing to lose it driving it hard but that guy was just cruising along and veered off the road.....low flying bird my ass.....

I would be willing to bet this is insurance fraud.... Very sad story of a very nice car becoming a boat because of some turd.... I bet he spilled his McDonalds coffee and now has a lawsuit with McD's and the insurance company...

What a messed up world....

Too bad it had to turn into a salt water yacht cause I was thinking there is one awesome crate engine available for a swap

One of the guys in this recording says he will own a lambo like that one day...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[GregWeld]

Yeah -- He's probably right! He'll buy a "lambo" with the money he hammers the Veyron bozo for to take down his video of him deliberately driving into the lake...


My understanding - or at least what I've read - he paid 1.1 for the BV and insured it for 2 million... I would "ass ume" that it was an agreed value policy. Maybe he hoped to make a nice little "gain"?

That looks deliberate to me. He had just exited the main road for that side road and from there it was such a smooth and gradual turn into the lake with no attempt to correct. How convenient that there were no rocks at the entry point to cause a collision, that the water was shallow enough to not cause drowning, and that it was salt water(perfect for a 'total loss' claim). I can't imagine that a guy that could afford one of those would try something like insurance fraud, but you never know. There are several for sale in the US right now, so maybe he thought he couldn't sell it quickly or recoup the full cost of the car.
