Words fail us

Take the world’s most impressive automotive achievement, add the Lone Star state and what is either the world’s most distracted or God-awful driver and you get this…. Video after the break.

Contributing editor, Straight-Six, had a proper job as a journalist for Dow Jones before lowering himself gently into the warm, forgiving waters of The Guide. He’s our resident fanatic: he relished detailing his BMW M3 for two full days at a time before crashing it at Eau Rouge in the wet; he spends insane amounts on his home-cinema system and has thrown tens of thousands of euros at vintage Rolex sports watches. The little fool simply does not understand the concept of restraint or the meaning of excess. He also – following a legendary "heavy" lunch – once nibbled (yes, like little dogs do) a dear lady friend of ours.

    Can you imagine the sick feeling in the pit of his stomach when he realized the gravity of what he did?

    Assuming it was a he! You’re right, though, the servicing on one of those Veyron’s is in the tens of thousands, so I can’t imagine what an entire engine/electronic/cabin, etc. diagnostic and repair will run.

    This said, the owner can no doubt afford to pay for such stupidity…:)

    Stupidity? Could be that he suffered MI attack while driving. Just because he drove his million dollar car into a lake, you call him stupid? I wonder what you would do with your $5000 car while you crashed into a pile of rubbish due to some health problem. Just dont be judgmental.

    Straight-six, don’t be so callous. Fragilemptiness has been searching for a place to display his / her vulnerability.

    What…. are you saying a blog focussing on Bacchanalian excess isn’t a place for that?

    Who knew?

      “Bacchanalian”!?

      I like that. I’m adding it to my repertoire.
