    This actually explains why it has Texas plates but isn't in the DPS registry. It has dealer plates. #bugattiveyron

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

    In reply to America Needs High-Speed Rail
    Having had the pleasure of riding the Shinkansen in Japan, I'd hop aboard a high speed train at the drop of the proverbial hat. For small land mass countries like Japan, it's a god-send. I spent 2.5 months in Japan on '07, mostly in a small-ish town outside of Nagoya. The Shinkansen got me to Tokyo in 2 hours, and Kobe in about the same. Fuji Speedway was another destination served almost completely by train (and a highly entertaining cab ride through the country side). No one does rail like the Japanese. The first time you're at a Shinkansen station waiting for your train, and an express blows through at a good 150mph is seriously awesome. Fun fact: the Japanese rail system averages schedule deviations and variances in seconds.

    States such as California could surely benefit from such a system. It's got a large population across a very serviceable area. Unfortunately, there's no way in hell the state could ever pay for it (I'll spare you all any diatribe aimed at our crew in Sacramento).

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

    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

    On behalf of fairness, the film clearly shows the bird being killed.

    @evo190: That all depends on what district you are registered to vote in.

    I could easily side with the guy being a douche, but that may depend on how many votes it will get me.
