Man distracted by bird drives Bugatti into marsh
Thu Nov 12, 9:34 pm ET
LA MARQUE, Texas – A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering his million-dollar sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston. The accident happened about 3 p.m. Wednesday on the frontage road of Interstate 45 northbound in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston.

The Lufkin, Texas, man told of driving his luxury, French-built Bugatti Veyron when the bird distracted him, said La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist. The motorist dropped his cell phone, reached to pick it up and veered off the road and into the salt marsh. The car was half-submerged in the brine about 20 feet from the road when police arrived.

Gilchrist said he doesn't know if the car was salvageable, but in his words, "Salt water isn't good for anything." He says the man, whose identity hasn't been released, was not injured.

A 2006 Bugatti Veyron was recently offered for sale in Jonesboro, Ark., for $1.25 million

The ironing here is the incredible odds of even finding a Bugatti Veyron owner from Lufkin, Texas.

Agreed...that is the most amazing part of the story....must be a transplant.

I drive that road every other week. Something else going on here.

That's just a typical Texas car, though.

Ha! That 'Oh Sh!t!!' reaction is probably what the driver was having too.
So, there is a reason why you shouldn't fiddle with the phone while driving. And an expensive car like that would likely have a built-in hands free system, no?

I realise I must be in the minority but the Veyron does absolutely nothing for me.
And except for maybe 3 of them over the years, neither do Ferrarris.
Actually, aside from the Gallardo - not that I'm exactly sure just what it is about it that I like, virtually all of the 'supercar' ilk illicits not much more than a meh from me.

Maybe I should try Dr v V's blue pills?

A friend of mine was similarly unimpressed with Ferraris, though he summed-up their principal shortcoming as "There's not enough room under the dashboard for my d*ck".

That makes sense.

But I am still trying to figure out by looking at the picture...and trying not be very graphic....how can they have sex?. I mean, how wide does she have to open her legs do do missionary or be on top? With anything else the gut would get in the way.
