    Ahhhh Mr. Coincidence. I've never believed in you.

    This smells fishy now, and it isn't because of the Smally in the center counsel. #bugattiveyron

    1) Buy Veyron
    2) Submerge Veyron
    3) Collect insurance for Veyron
    4) Repair Veyron in your supercar shop
    5) Sell Veyron
    6) Profit! #bugattiveyron

    @Alfisted: Um, at step 3.5 the insurance company would total said car and say it can't be repaired or salvaged.

    Although having a parts car would make you the best deal around for Veyron repairs. #bugattiveyron

    @JCWhitless:

    That's not how any insurance company I've ever heard of works. They don't give a shit what you do with the car, whether it gets on the road again is up to your local/state authorities. #bugattiveyron

    @TechnoDestructo: Leinholders and banks may get to make that decision between the insurance company and them, not you.

    Know of a few cases where the bank refused to let the person keep the car when the insurance settlement hit.

    If you own the vehicle and it is just between you and the insurance company, sure. But this ain't a five year old Camry.

    There will be splain'in to do. #bugattiveyron

    "It is by far the nicest car that I have ever owned, looking to replace it now!"

    "As soon as the insurance company tells me they're going to cover over a Mil's worth of repairs on the first one - all of which I will do at my own shop, of course, at a hard cost to myself of maybe a hundred large!" #bugattiveyron

    It's not ironic. It's one of those things where you turn your hobby into a job.

    Repairing and selling your salvaged cars.

    Then again, this person probably does not have the brain cells to realize the irony, either...

    @JSmith53: I chalk it up to busted-ass lucky and/or he knows someone.

    He also drove said Veyron into a salt-water bay. I stand by the fact he's endowed with poor decision-making as the default. #bugattiveyron

    When I was a kid, I loved all the Herbie movies. The Love Bug, Herbie Goes Bananas, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo... I devoured them. I became obsessed with air-cooled VWs as a result of those movies, and while I've moved on to other cars since then, I still turn and look when I hear the sound of an air-cooled flat four.
    Then, one day a while ago, I accidentally saw part of Herbie: Fully Loaded while channel surfing. A little part of me died that day, leaving a cynical shell of a car nut. I just hope Disney doesn't try to make a quick buck on something involving a Peugeot 504 or Toyota Landcruiser FJ40-- if they do, I'll have no childhood car memories left to hold on to.

    Race the sun was one of my all time favorite movies back in the day. I'm not joking... I am kind of a nerd though.

    Actually, I completely forgot the name of it until seeing it in this list. Thanks Jalopnik!

    Here on the University of Minnesota Solar Vehicle Project, the "Race the Sun Official Drinking Game" is a traditional activity. You think that movie's bad? Try racing a real solar car 2400 miles, THEN watch the movie. Good lord, they're SITTING on their solar array!

    I'm actually going to place "Driven" as my #1 seed. There are several reasons: 1) Stallone is an avid open wheel race face and wanted to make a homage in the same vein as (Le mans and Grand Prix) and as the final result shows went horribly wrong.
    2)There are many talented and respected actors that were just given material so below their level.
    3)Although Hollywood never learns, bad effects and over acting do not save a sub par script.
    4)Renny Harlin should not even direct traffic now...(whoohoo zing....I know I suck)

    These films would have made ideal fodder for "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" ...and they'll probably do well in the project that the MST3K founders are now doing (Cinematic Titanic), so long as these movies don't cost a fortune for them to get & riff on.

    @scotte: I mentioned above that MST3k did The Last Chase during the KTMA season. Weak sauce though. For full-force MST car-movie mayhem check out Girls Town.
    Nun pulls up in an old Chrysler 300 and they quip "God bless, it's got a six-pack my child."
    But their best car line ever is during the opening credits of The Touch Of Satan where we follow a Maverick down the road and Crow comments "I really thought the Prince of Darkness would drive a muscle-car".

    I might have to withhold judgement on RPM, based exclusively on the carflesh on display in the trailer.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I actually own RPM. I had a Best Buy gift card with $5 left on it and I thought it couldn't be that bad.
    I wasted $5.
