  • $400,000 Vintage Bugatti wrecked

    Saw this on yahoo, thought I would pass it on. I guess if you have one and want to use it, there would be plenty of stories to tell about the new wreckage now sitting in the garage.

      That's a pretty nasty crash when you have no roll bar, he's lucky he didn't break his neck. I appluade the guy for driving it on the race track! When we see all those cars sitting in museums, we have no clue as to the cars real character, it's sound, it's motion and it's mechanical nuances. As I see it, it is worth the risk. The nice thing about a $400,000 vintage racer is that it is almost impossible to total it. Even after a nasty wreck like that he can probably fix it for under 50 grand.
