    Makes you wonder how many times this guy has been abducted by aliens...probably about as many times as his double wide has been destroyed by tornadoes.

    I have to say there should be a guard to prevent a run off into the water. I guess there are 2 conclusions, he either did it on purpose or he is an idiot, I guess either way he is an idiot....

    @F1Morgan: Sorry, I have to disagree. One of the things I noticed when I was driving in the France and Italy was that the Europeans are far less of a nanny state when it comes to guard rails. You're driving, damn it. Stop f*ing around, pay attention and stay on the damn road. If it is slippery, foggy, dark, icy, whatever, SLOW DOWN. Drive. People, DRIVE. The state is not here to keep you from falling off the cliff.
    /end rant.
    Sorry, that's a sore point, the world could use a few less guardrails and a few more attentive drivers.

    @ChristopherSchull:

    I officially retract my bird theory. This is the type of thing us at Jalopnik need to do on a weekly basis, get to the bottom of the things that matter.

    It is a great video and shows more detail than we could imagine. Now we need to track down the kids who 'filmed' the accident.

    Top Gear is taping now, and there is a fairly good chance a staffer of that show visits this site to harvest news stories.

    Some of our jokes or comments may end up falling out of Hammonds mouth.

    I say screw them. If they won't give us Top Gear USA, then you need to have Gawker block all visitors from the UK so Ray can launch Jalopnik TV.

    Think about it, Murilee, Ray, and, um, I don't know who the third punk would be, maybe have the rest of the staff fight it out, do stories every week that matter.

    Car reviews, Lemons prep, stupid stunts, and of course, actually test drive a crack pipe car. Imagine the cracky goodness on video!

    Visit project car hell owners, new and old, and see if the person who has three Fiats is crazy or just lacks motivation.

    Closing credits could be swedish death metal over DOTS images.

    You would only have to bring the gang together to film a bit about each episode once, and if you send out three cameras, have each 'member' film segments, then send it all to Detroit where it should be produced anyway.

    I heard from Jeff Daniels you can make movies in Michigan. Or was it Moxie. I forget.

    Damn. I wish I had so much money that I could smash up a Bugatti and just shrug. I saw one on display in Berlin last month. It was behind a glass wall. No shit. There was even somebody guarding it. You weren't going to get to so much as breathe on this thing.

    One. Million. Euros. For a car. Damn.

    "The Veyron's powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died"

    I've found it a good idea in the past to shut off your engine when your Veyron is sitting in a lake...Just what I do... #bugattiveyron

    2 thoughts come to mind:

    1. Why isn't the car in neutral when they are pulling it backwards (rear wheels are clearly locked).

    I know the tow truck driver needs to tie onto the rear wheel initially, but wouldn't you want to move the tie-on point once you got it out of the water? Can't be doing the transmission any favors to drag it backwards several hundred feet.

    2. "The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone..."

    Schadenfreude. #bugattiveyron

    @B3ND3R: I was thinking about the non-spinning wheels, and this transmission is a cousin to VW's DSG manu-matic. The water probably destroyed any way of actually putting the thing in neutral. #bugattiveyron

    @skaven: I wondered about the DSG, but it seems to be like there would be/should be some sort "defeat" me so that the car can go into neutral.

    Even crapbox economy cars have a neutral lockout for just such a purpose. This car *is* $1.6M+...

    Ah well. Never been a huge fan of the Veyron, anyways. At least, that's what I tell myself since is not likely I'll ever have a dog in that type of hunt. :-D #bugattiveyron

    So a rich guy, with a few mil to waste on a car, was looking for a new multimillion house in a hurricane flood plain, which the taxpayers will probably pay to rebuild after the next big one. For some reason I have no sympathy for the guy. #bugattiveyron
