Feelin' Like A Million Bucks

Million-Dollar Car Crashes in Marsh

LA MARQUE, Texas (Nov. 14) -- A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering his million-dollar sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston. The accident happened about 3 p.m. Wednesday on the frontage road of Interstate 45 northbound in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston.



The Lufkin, Texas, man told of driving his luxury, French-built Bugatti Veyron when the bird distracted him, said La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist. The motorist dropped his cell phone, reached to pick it up and veered off the road and into the salt marsh. The car was half-submerged in the brine about 20 feet from the road when police arrived.

Gilchrist said he doesn't know if the car was salvageable, but in his words, "Salt water isn't good for anything." He says the man, whose identity hasn't been released, was not injured.

A 2006 Bugatti Veyron was recently offered for sale in Jonesboro, Ark., for $1.25 million.

Ha ha. This is exactly what this guy deserves. I'm not exactly a disgruntled member of the proletariat or anything but I certainly do enjoy it when the wealthy get their comeuppins. Especially when its some self important douchebag who crashes his $1 million dollar space car into a pond because he's got an important phone call. And what's the part about the bird? He's just trying to blame this on external factors. The truth is he's a douche, he dropped his phone and now he's got wet seat cushoins. I hope he cries his eyes on on his diamond encrusted bed pillow.
