That is brackish water -- mix of fresh and salt water. The guy got out, left the door open, and the engine running.

This Bugatti is no more! It's has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, It rests in peace! If it weren't sittin' in water, it'd be pushing up the daisies! 'It's mechanical processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig! It's s kicked the bucket. It's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-BUGATTI!!

Manufactured by a division of VW. So if I were to get a Jetta, could I swap out some of the Jetta stuff for some of the good stuff? :?

Not to get to far off topic,... but here's the plan for the new vw...

This was in our local paper too...........Lufkin daily news..........

Article did not say who the owner is, just that he was from Lufkin.

I wish I knew who it is............definately not anyone in our social circle. :lol:

Why would someone pay a million dollars for a house? Why would someone pay a million dollars for a painting? Why would anyone pay a million dollars for any object?

Different people, different priorities.

I am a car enthusiast, but if I could afford a Veyron or an Enzo ($1.3-million), would I buy one? Nope.

I'd buy a Porsche Boxster S for sixty-grand and give the savings to charity.

I love to drive my cars, not wear them as a trophy.

For that matter, why spend $300,000 on a big ol' honkin' RV when you could get a comfy teardrop...

I don't think I could ever spend that kind of money on a car. But I suppose some people wouldn't spend the time and money I've spent building a camper either. To each his own...Live and let live.

I told my Wife if I ever hit the super lotto:
1) No more shopping at Big Lots and Walmart. We'll be stepping up to Target.
2) I'm gonna go to Pizza Hut order me up a pizza with ALL the toppings!
3) Gonna take her to Red Lobster, tell her to order anything she wants, even from the left side of the menu!

Yeah, I know, I like to think big... :lol:
