OMG that is the biggest mega-fail of all time. No way it is fixable.

video just seems too coincidental for me. maybe he did it for insurance purposes.

cant embed vids in this section so here -

mikey if you look to the right of the vid on youtube, theres an "embed" link you just copy and paste. it only works on certain parts of most forums though.

That's a claim I'd definitely investigate, esecially with that video.

I didn't see any bird on youtube vid. That person just drove off the road. Probably couldn't afford the Veyron anymore.

Even if you cant afford it anymore there is a huge demand for them as well as a huge waiting list, he could have sold it off.

It seems staged... but why would the guy want a video of himself driving into the water...

Must have been an invisible bird...

I think there's more to hear about this story...

First thing I thought when I heard this was some sort of insurance scam as well

I was thinking the same thing. But on the other hand, it's not too outlandlandish to think that if there was a $1+ million car on the road that someone somewhere wouldn't be taking pictures/video of it.

maybe it was overheating and he wanted to cool it down.... easiest way is to dunk it in water and get some good flow on all 10 radiators!

I was thinking maybe he was just being an idiot and trying to drive it like a NASCAR driver and he f'ed up and it ended up in the lake? Who knows... either way it's a major fail.
