just looked. the 2.5 price is for the base 1000 hp car. the 16.4 EB SS is 1200 hp at 6,400 rpm and 1,106 torque at 3000 rpm, and costs 4.5 million loaded.

258 mph electronically regulated.

Bugatti Veyron Lake Crash-- Original Video- 1st hand account - YouTube
that was insurance fraud.
he claimed a bird flew in front of him, making him loose control.
after seeing this video on you tube, the insurance company determined he was lying, and investigated. he was in financial distress, and did not want to pay for the car do he decided to destroy it.
once it was in the water, he left the engine running until it ingested enough water to hydro-lock the engine.

he ended up having to pay full price for the car, and it was indeed destroyed.

I didn't get much, but I did get a new grinder and a bunch of us got passes to do some go cart racing at a local oval track. The go carts will go 70+ mph IRC. LOL. Other than that, I became a free man for a little while.. not sure how I feel about that yet, but we'll see what comes of it. HAHA.

Oh and on the Bugatti subject, I think I would rather have the SSC Ultimate Aero or the ole McLaren F1. Bugatti has an awesome car on their hands, but I would just rather have the others..

They are all spam anyways. I checked the links.

It goes to some advertisment site.

A free man, does that mean you became single again and have more money for mods? Sorry, I had to.

I got my fuel pump for xmas, new racing gloves, and a new dial bore gauge for the main things. I'm happy.

Well I didn't get any truck stuff this year, we got got kitchen chairs...ugh, but she was excited so that's good.

Finally talked my buddy into letting me plow this year and it looks like today I'll be back in the saddle. Haven't been out in a couple years since my brother sold his old beat up 360 Dodge plow truck. My buddy has a nice stable of 350 6.0's and 7.3's. Big upgrade! I've never driven a 6.0, could be an interesting day.

Something like that. I'm sure if I stay single I will have quite a bit more money to blow.. Not sure what will happen yet. Just wishing I hadn't bought all this audio equipment for her truck now. It's a PITA to get rid of audio equipment for a decent price. Just like any other aftermarket part I guess. I doubt I will even get $500 back out of this stuff and I have almost that into the box alone. LOL

Sounds like everyone elses Xmas went well. Now to get through the new year!
