What the ***** is this guy smoking? How do you mistake a Bugatti for a Lamborghini? - uruururr, on 11/15/2009, -38/+505maybe they dont know ***** about ultra expensive supercars... like most people.
- MakanGuru, on 11/15/2009, -8/+372how the ***** do you crash going on a straight road?
this guy does not deserve to own a car liek that - efitz11, on 11/15/2009, -1/+310the GPS probably said to turn right
- trs1138, on 11/15/2009, -5/+2551. Buy rare hyper-car cheap in Jonesboro, Ark. for $1.25M.
2. "Accidentally" total that hyper-car in a shallow pond hours after insuring it.
3. ?????
... oh ya... collect insurance money on said hyper-car, have your own restoration business buy back from insurance company at a fraction of the cost, completely restore hyper-car, sell to some movie star for more than you initially bought it for...
4. Profit! - HeDiggMe, on 11/15/2009, -8/+225Remember when Eddie Griffin crashed that $1M Ferrari the week before a car chase movie? I'm starting to think this is a publicity stunt.
1) The owner, Andy House, just happens to run a business that restores & sells exotics. You know, like salt-brined Bugattis.
2) Somebody happened to filming the car just at the moment it crashed.
3) The event and related information rolled out over a weekend so the news could last longer. If this happened on a Monday it would be obsolete by EOD.
Just saying. - sonicpentatonic, on 11/15/2009, -4/+183Based on the Sublime playing in the background, I think it is a pretty safe bet he was stoned off his ass.
- HeDiggMe, on 11/14/2009, -1/+177HA! So much for the pelican story
- DaviDTC, on 11/15/2009, -1/+169Crashing on a straight road is like misspelling a four letter word.
- LetterQ, on 11/15/2009, -2/+161Wait a minute... The guy who crashed a $2 million Bugatti Veyron (one of 15 in the country) into a lake on a clear day, in light traffic, for no apparent reason, happens to be the owner of a shop that specializes in repairing highly exotic cars? Too much coincidence there - I smell an insurance scam. I bet he collects the insurance money, buys the wrecked Veyron back from the insurance company for far less, repairs it, then either sells it or continues to own it.
Pretty funny that he happened to be on video at the time of the crash. - brentjholmes, on 11/15/2009, -4/+122I've never lost a child or a Bugatti but I would think its a similar feeling. But then again, I'm pretty sure you can buy a kid for less than the price of that car.
- cambob76, on 11/15/2009, -1/+112Kudos to the cameraman for not totally missing the money shot... which seems to always happen.
- Olympicarw, on 11/15/2009, -1/+105HOW DID YOU DO THAT
- jeffh4, on 11/15/2009, -3/+95Who the hell crashes while driving 60 MPH in a straight line?
Wait. . . WHO THE HELL DRIVES A BUGATTI 60 MPH!?!?!?!? - jeffh4, on 11/15/2009, -0/+89Stealth Pelicans are the WORST kind of pelicans. . . .
God, how I hate Stealth Pelicans. . . . - Sewermutt, on 11/15/2009, -26/+112Lambo = car
Bugatti = car
Therefore: Lambo = Bugatti. - BossKey, on 11/15/2009, -0/+84It's easy, keep your foot on the gas, grab your phone, and start texting "Dude youll nevr guess wut im driving rite now"

Police ID driver of brined million-dollar car
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LUFKIN, Texas — Police have revealed the identity of the owner and driver of a million-dollar French sports car that he accidentally veered into a salt marsh.
The Lufkin Daily News reports police records in the Gulf Coast town of La Marque, Texas, identified 34-year-old Andy House of Lufkin as the driver of the 2006 Bugatti Veyron EB. Police say the car veered off an Interstate 45 frontage road and into the marsh Wednesday afternoon, becoming half-submerged in the brine. House wasn't injured.
The newspaper reports House owns a company that restores damaged luxury cars for resale. A 2006 Bugatti Veyron was recently offered for sale in Jonesboro, Ark., for $1.25 million.
A call and e-mail to House from The Associated Press weren't returned Friday. However, tow truck operator Gilbert Harrison tells the Houston Chronicle that House was "getting so many calls that he finally stopped answering his phone." Among the callers were California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and several other celebrities.

And from the follow-up exclusive:
"The Veyron itself was released to the insurance company earlier today..." - ThaDRD, on 11/15/2009, -40/+103Or maybe you're a woman. Get back in the kitchen, there are men discussing manly things like cars over here!
- mejf2loy, on 11/15/2009, -0/+60So I wasnt the only one waiting for a pelican to jump out.
- Rayd89, on 11/15/2009, -5/+61Male = Human
Female = Human
Male ≠ Female ..... explain that! - aralls, on 11/15/2009, -4/+54What's exclusive about a Youtube video? By the way, here's the higher quality, original version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32yyvmlGOdo - Chairboy, on 11/15/2009, -0/+49Well, sure, the kids can be made with unskilled labor.
- ricodued, on 11/15/2009, -1/+50That would have sounded even more retarded.
"That's a car, dude!"
"Really? I thought it was an F-22 fighter jet, you ***** moron. Get out of my goddamn car." - BossKey, on 11/15/2009, -0/+44I'll bet he misspelled a four-letter word going into that lake.
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" - crtjer, on 11/15/2009, -1/+43Whether this was a stunt or just a terrible driver, his car must be taken away from him.
I'm sure the entire cast of Top Gear is crying. - ftc08, on 11/15/2009, -0/+39#2 is very possible.
If you saw a veryron rolling past, and you had a camera, you'd be right there trying to take video of it. - Sewermutt, on 11/15/2009, -0/+29Kids come at about $1,200.00 in Mexico.
- bigteebo, on 11/15/2009, -0/+29When you are trying to get someone to film it for insurance fraud.
- l2izwan, on 11/15/2009, -1/+295. Hope the movie star crashes the car.
6. have your own restoration business buy back from said movie star at a fraction of the cost, completely restore hyper-car, sell to some billionaire for more than you initially bought it for...
7. Profit! - l2izwan, on 11/15/2009, -2/+29How is the vid, being on Youtube, exclusive?
- LetterQ, on 11/15/2009, -0/+27@knol - You must be wrong, because one of the articles about the crash says that the insurance company has already taken possession of the car. I also read that the owner of the car previously decided not to drive it on a closed track at high speed, because the insurance company said they wouldn't cover any damage that might result.
I still think there's something fishy going on here. Come on, that's the the only place I've ever seen where you can safely drive off of a highway and right into a body of water without hitting anything. The video shows that he drove RIGHT IN to the water, and it sure looks like he did it on purpose. It also happens to be a place that's not close to his home or work. He was visiting the area "to look at real estate". I bet he scouted half of Texas to find that ideal spot. He's definitely up to something. - pirategonzo, on 11/15/2009, -2/+29What bothers me is that he first claims that he will someday own one of those cars and then admits that he doesn't even know what it is.
- kepisw, on 11/15/2009, -0/+26#2 isn't just possible, it's happened before. Here in Edmonton about two years ago, a semi was driving the wrong way down a major highway for about 15km before jumping off an overpass, crashing, and exploding into a fireball.
And yes, it was caught on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W1Yv5KANZQ - pkfx, on 11/15/2009, -1/+27Your argument is not sound because your premises are false. Actually:
Lambo ⇒ car
Bugatti ⇒ car
⊬ Lambo = Bugatti - amprather, on 11/15/2009, -1/+27Something smells fishy.....
- spworm, on 11/15/2009, -0/+25if you're driving a countach, you've got to be rich to pay the service bills
- digjam, on 11/15/2009, -2/+27OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.............................
- DaviDTC, on 11/15/2009, -0/+24But they saw a Lambo rolling past them.
- R1100S, on 11/15/2009, -0/+24Doesn't a Countach's 15k mile service (drop engine for belt replacement) run $15-20k?
If you are driving a 100k mi Lambo, you ARE rich.
Actually.....I SERIOUSLY doubt any Italian exotic has ever hit 100k. - holychicken, on 11/15/2009, -0/+22"Everyone always wants new things. Everybody likes new inventions, new technology. People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me, the choice is easy."
- aloser, on 11/15/2009, -0/+21pkfx - Lambo does not imply Car; Lambo is a subset of Car is more accurate:
(Lambo ⊆ Car) ∧ (Bugatti ⊆ Car) !⇒ (Lambo = Bugatti) - kinsider, on 11/15/2009, -1/+22French? The company is as much German as it is French, and I would call it Italian.
- reticulate, on 11/15/2009, -0/+20Speaking of which, 13 hours until the new season starts!
- dunker, on 11/15/2009, -0/+18Misspelling a four letter word is easier then you think.
- Crossmenjeff, on 11/15/2009, -0/+17idiots who might have just stopped some major insurance fraud.
