Nice guy.

Oh and "To add insult to injury, Bugatti offered a 2008 model in place of his ordered 2009." Is there any difference?

Whether or not you have any compassion he's going to win in court. He paid a huge amount of money and they said "screw you, you get nothing and we keep your half million".
I really don't care who he is or how much more money he has than me, he got screwed big time by Bugatti and them taking orders for cars they won't deliver is the death knell for a company like that.
They aren't making anymore, and knew it, and took the order anyway and won't give the deposit back? Are you kidding me?

Maybe he held a fundraiser for crippled babies and used the money to buy (or try to buy) a Bugatti.

This is just the typical douche who purchases a Bugatti, or a Koneigsegg, or a Gumpert, or even a Lamborghini. I will make an excuse for a Ferrari or even a 911 Porsche, because in all reality, these are the Chevrolets of the exotic car world.
The sooner VW closes Bugatti and Lamborghini, the better.

The pangs of jealousy are hard to suppress, aren't they.

A good indicator is when you're to the left of Jaleftyopnik.

I don't know why he's identified as a Michigan resident, since he's Canadian and lives in a suburb of Windsor. The Atlas plant is in Ontario too.
Atlas was started by Zekeleman's father, a Holocaust survivor. When Zekelman junior took over the company 25 years ago it had only 5 employees. When he and his siblings sold the company, they got something like $3.5 billion.

Coz as we all know Windsor is the real Detroit. We like to keep all the riff raff in Detroit, have built it as a decoy. The real Detroiters actually live in Windsor.

"In these uncertain and economic hard times, is it really a good time to purchase what is probably the most ostentatious car ever built?"
Yeah, because the way to fix an economy is to not buy anything. Everybody, do your part! Uhhh... good job.
Udman, you seem to think less and less about your posts these days. Youre quickly losing respect. Why not assume he killed babies to buy it? What's the market price these days? Goh... When did you turn into such a troll?

All nice compliments you get about your Ferrari.

Maybe Bugatti's some sort of Ponzi scheme, and the credit crunch means that orders have dried up so they can't pay off their newest investors.
