Don't ya hate when that happens?

Who knows, maybe you can get a Veyron on the cheap now!

If he can afford to drive a car worth $1.25 million I doubt he's bothered about damp carpets

LOL I drove into a ditch once cause a wasp was in my car buzzing around. I was flailing wildly rolling down the windows and trying to get him the hell out. Thats when he decided to sting the livin poop outa me.

EEeeeeek ... Bonk.

You, my good sir, are full of failure and legend.

SteamWake · 11-13-09, 08:38 PM

That day yes, but it wasent a Bugatti either.

Platapus · 11-13-09, 08:46 PM

Wasps are no fun. Bees I can handle, but after being attacked by a small swarm of wasps, I am very scared of them.

Wasp stings are some of the worst pain you can get from a sting and they can sting multiple times per wasp.

There is now video of the Veyron getting towed out of the drink.

JSLTIGER · 11-14-09, 06:06 PM

Actual video of the crash (WARNING: LANGUAGE!!!):

I don't see a pelican...

Shearwater · 11-14-09, 06:36 PM

It's an ugly car anyway. He should be glad he he has to buy a new one

Platapus · 11-14-09, 06:40 PM

Yeah, I did not find that car that attractive either. But to each his own. If someone has the money, they can buy the toys the like.

Jimbuna · 11-14-09, 08:06 PM

It looks to me like the driver wasn't paying enough attention to the driving task or maybe even nodded off at the wheel momentarily

Wasn't Houston the fattest city in the States? Will do him good to walk around for a change.

Shearwater · 11-14-09, 09:09 PM

Maybe he just confused "driving a car" with "diving a car."

(Not let's go watch that lip sink ...)

Platapus · 11-14-09, 09:14 PM

I can't tell from the video but it looks like he yelled ALARM!!! right before entering the water.

I could be mistaken though.
