Not even $2 million of high-speed European luxury could withstand two feet of Texas saltwater.
The driver of this Bugatti Veyron took a wrong turn in La Marque, Texas, and ended up in a lagoon.
The unidentified driver had been looking at real estate near Galveston, he told cops, before being distracted by a low-flying pelican this week.

Someone was taking a video when it happened:

I dunno, but am I the only one that thinks it's a hell of a coincidence someone was taking a very well framed video of him at just the right moment AND the guy works for a place that repairs exotic cars?

Cars like this do not carry insurance.
The owners need to carry bonds that would cover accidents

I had thought the same thing, but wasn't entirely sure.
