Underwater, Literally, With a $2 Million Bugatti
By RICHARD S. CHANG

Eddie Griffin might finally be off the hook for the most ridiculous crash in a priceless supercar. On Wednesday, a man drove a Bugatti Veyron into a lagoon in Texas after avoiding a low-flying pelican.

According to The Galveston County Daily News, the driver was checking out real estate in La Marque, Tex., when the pelican swooped into view:

The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cellphone and the car?s front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon.

The Veyron?s powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died.

The man was uninjured, physically, though after drowning the Veyron, which is priced at around $2 million, his ego might be a little damaged. (Lawrence Ulrich reviewed the new Veyron in The Times earlier this month.)

Now Jalopnik has unearthed video of the Veyron being towed out of the water:

That is hard to look at.

Aren't they fresh water cars?

CPimp · 11-12-2009, 08:43 PM

Nobody knew the Veyron could drive in water up to 3 feet deep? I mean come on! These 2 million dollar cars have to be able to do that, at least, right? Or maybe make a pot of coffee?

$2 million car is insured, He will get it fixed

SimonScans · 11-13-2009, 01:06 AM

2 million on a car, but too tight for the handsfree kit.

NBBCash Matze · 11-13-2009, 02:00 AM

maybe the money shouldn't be the only criterion to get such a superior fast car. A skill test before should help to avoid such accidents.

the real skill they are looking for, is being able to make the payments

NBBCash Matze · 11-13-2009, 03:04 AM

reminds me Mr.Been and his MclarenF1

Raf1 · 11-13-2009, 04:26 AM

the cell phone was the real reason

dirtymind · 11-13-2009, 04:45 AM

well its just water, the car shouldn't have too much damage,, let it dry and it should look ok again. Lets say its going to cost him a couple of 100k and he will have a happy owner again, moron

A-n-D-r-E-S · 11-13-2009, 05:49 AM

I can't see the vid... He's a stupid, and I believe that the cell phone was the real reason why he crashed...

james_clickmemedia · 11-13-2009, 06:13 AM

I knew they were rare cars however only 12 in the US, wow.

John-ACWM · 11-13-2009, 07:54 AM

He chose not to kill the pelican...oh well

The Bugatti has a wing that extends automatically at high speeds. It might have gotten deployed by the accident.
