The $1.5 million Veyron dipped in a Texas lake hits a salvage auction

[71chevellejohn]

"Stretch" was his name(at least back in canada) that had the million dollar car on the $500 trailer.

It was a joke every nice car posted some one comes along and says for $$ on my mustang I could beat it.

What's sad is that it's somewhat feasable if you have the right hook-ups and don't mind fixing some shit after the race.

Why? Because that 100 shot of nawz blew the welds on the intake? Gonna have the mad scientist replace the piston rings?

[jdgregory84]

LaserSVT, while I don't respect your opinion and you're a newb.....well, that's about it.

Doing shit fast isn't the same as doing shit right.

In what? That's what's crazy. I'll give you credit with 95%(fake stat) of cars, that would hold true in the 1/8 or 1/4 mile, but the Veyron runs what, a low 10 in the 1/4 mile? If you bought some slicks, gears, and a good nitrous kit used and were REALLY lucky, you could probably run close if the driver for the Veyron sucked(which they probably would), but the Veyron, regardless of it's weight, is a fucking freak of nature.

Nevermind, you obviously DID drink yourself retarded last night. Either that or you had an embolism.

wasn't it his friend's car...or neighbor, or something like that?

[red95gts]

It was his friend's car. From what I recall, the friend owns an exotic car salvage business in Lufkin where he repairs and resells totalled exotics.

so, it was already a totaled and repaired car?

[red95gts]

Dont know for sure, but I don't think it was a rebuilt car when he bought it.

[46Tbird]

No, it was a perfect car until he veered off the highway in south Texas and drove it into a marsh.

He made a claim that he swerved to avoid a pelican, but there was video taken by some random people driving on the highway that show he deliberately steered off the road and into the water.

At least, that's how I remember it...

[stangin4lyfe]

I'm sure that insurance company cancelled this guy with a quickness!

That's how I remember it too.

For $1500 worh of mods a Fox 5.0 could beat it.

Who was the guy on here that transported that amazing piece of machinery into this state? Gorgeous car. I would never, and probably will never be able to own one, but I respect the fact that someboy made this car. It's a fucking jet fighter with a drivetrain. Gotta respect that.

How long have you been here, jdgregory84? Or did you just suffer amnesia?

[mstng86]

That's how I remember it too.

I remember it that way too, except there were midgets cleaning the cars in the front of his house.

I could be wrong though.
