November 13, 2009$2 Million Bugatti Veyron Lands in Texas Lagoon (Paris Hilton NOT Responsible)

You probably heard back in May about the $1.4 Million Bugatti that was keyed and egged outside of a party thrown by Paris Hilton at her home in Los Angeles…

But how about this?  A man (a wealthy man) is driving his $2 Million Bugatti I-45 near Galveston, TX and when he is distracted by a low-flying pelican and jerks the wheel, only to find himself, moments later floating (well, sinking) in a saltwater lagoon.  According to the Daily News of Galveston County, “The Veyron’s powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died.”  Guess that takes care of that curiosity: 16-cylinder engines can last for about 15 minutes in water.

Wow.
