Default Can't believe I saw this driving down the road... bugatti veyron

I will probably never see a more expensive production vehicle DRIVING down the road for the rest of my life. And in all places, Nacogdoches texas. Had to be someone famous or super wealthy because there are only a small handful of these in the world. I think it's a fair assumption that I will never see anything of this rarity or value driving on the road for the rest of my life.

I was too busy staring in awe at the car and was going the opposite direction so I only got the back end of the car. But to prove my story here is my shitty picture. The wheels, spoiler, and rear sidemarker give it away. For the record, the thing looked like sex on wheels. It was the 2009 version by the LED headlights.




Looked similar to this one:



I had to tell someone as the people I were with know nothing about cars and only gave me a hard time for flipping out.

Not this one. 10.2 @ 140-142mph with a top speed of 253 mph. The Bugatti is in a class of it's own.
