I think the spoiler comes up on that thing at like 100mph so he was probably in a good clip when it happend. Water saved his life most likely. A lil shop vac and a pine tree freshener and shes good as new.

Ouch, that car will be toast, submerged in saltwater like that. What a shame.

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, Autoblog has unearthed video of the Veyron being towed out of the water:

Yup lol, I would wash with some fresh water asap, any how, Does any one know about the spoiler, I am pretty sure you can drive with it up and locked regardless of the speed.

People are saying since it was up he was 100% speeding but I dont think that means he was. He could of been but the whole spoiler thing.
