CNN Bugatti Veyron Article

I wish I could ride in one just once, I have seen one in person at Benley Gold Coast Dealership in Chicago.

I know this car has been discussed to death, but it is a well spoken article and I never get sick of it.

It was over this summer, and the even crazier thing was it was OUTSIDE, parked on the sidewalk in front of the dealership, and this dealership is in the middle of a very busy part of downtown Chicago, so a lot of people were going by. Many of them didn't even know what they were looking at.

No velvet rope or anything, you could just walk right up and look inside, and touch it.

The asking price? A bargin basement price of $1.3 million...

EDIT: Too bad I had to get a Blackberry for work, otherwise I could have taken a picture.

Did I happen to mention that it does zero to 60 in 2.4 seconds? That you can give a McLaren F1 (the previous fastest road car) a head start to 120 mph and still beat it to 200?

Doubt it if they still do, as I said it was over the summer at least two or three months ago.

But going by that dealership is never a dissapointment, I walked in there one time and they started up one of the Saleen S7's (they had two at the time) becuase a customer wanted to hear the exhaust note.

One day I'll be a customer, one day...

A nice article, but Clarksons take on the Veyron was much more entertaining.

I guess we should start enforcing that rule again
