News Story - http://galvestondailynews.com/story....a47b18e47df13e

"Andy Lee House, 34, owner of Performance Auto Sales, told The Daily News on Wednesday that a low-flying pelican distracted him, causing him to jerk the steering wheel a bit — and he then dropped his cell phone."

I'm speechless.

:surprised: what the hell was that dude thinking?

*edit* there was no dam pelican!! what a moron!! i watched it 4 times to make sure lol

Obviously too stupid to have a car like that. Darwin at work.

What an IDIOT!

Ruining a car that costs over $ 1,000,000-:cry:

+1 for that!

Talking on the phone whilst driving a Veyron? Idiotic at best...

Money doesn't equal intelligence or skill...proven!

What a moron. I guess he didn't have the waterproof option.

Piss poor excuse for wrecking such a car ?
Remove all driving privilages for life.

:rofl:

on top gear (or whatever that british car show is) they said it costs volkswagen over $5million a piece to build the veyron because of all the exotic materials. They lose $4mil per car. It costs big money to be on top...

I read about it on yahoo and all they had was a picture of it in the water...

But that video is priceless. I think this should be the new definition of "dumbass."

I guess he was thinking that he could wash the interior the "green" way. No harsh chemicals, synthetic materials or weird odors, just pure natural lake water!

I did a little reseachearch on the car after posting...and you are right Harold..I was a little off on the value.

You were correct on retail price not manufacture costs

As I said to a friend of mine, how he wasted away $ 1Million + dollars...inexcusable, although, our gov.t does it every day so I am not really surprised when I think about it more.

But with the gov't, it's not their money, it's ours, so it's even worse.

Even a rich dude on a cell phone while driving is just another idiot on thier cell phone.

Found his business website: http://www.performanceautoworld.com/home

He rebuilds wrecked cars as a business anyway. Probably didn't lose too much from that little stunt. Conspiracy theory: it was for marketing! Anyway, hes got an Enzo for sale at $1.3 million. Maybe its the one that Eddie Griffin crashed?

:lol:

.dk

As much as those cars cost, didn't it have a "hands free" bluetooth for cell phone?

OWNED!!!
rich person bites the dust!!

1.6 million car. destroyed amazing what people can screw up.

I read an actricle on this car awhile back. About on the service they split the car in half to work on it or something.

One with the same skill set

And good ol' Captain Slow

you are so right:yes:

they video of it doing 253 mph or 407khm is just outright insane. now i have had my Audi a6 to 145 and that is outright fast. and had room to go more. not a 3.2 model 4.2 v8. To go 253 mph is just insane.

and than you get a rich guy driving the fastest production car into a bay of salt water. What a jerk and a bad excuse of doing so. A pelican come on.

It was funny to see pretty much all the media reporting on it as the world's fastest...
It's not-

Linky no worky...

Links both work for me ?

Search YouTube "SSC Aero"

Haha...don't have to look it up, I know you're right

Think I've got server issues locking me out of YouTube...

I bet he is going to be receiving a lot of phone calls right now. The news aricles are saying yes that was Enzo crashed by Eddie Griffin.

Haha, really? Thats quite awesome. I wonder how much he bought it for and how much he put into fixing it.

I think a lot of people believe the Veyron is still faster because its got all that unnecessary weight with the driver luxuries it has. Add to that SSC was and still is relatively unknown. Not a whole lot is known about the car and it hasn't been analyzed and inspected down to every nut and bolt like the Veyron has.

But that doesn't change the fact that they're wrong. I'm actually surprised SSC hasn't done more to promote themselves, especially in North America, considering they're American!

.dk

Is the SSC in full production yet?

You have to wonder if it was a setup. Why would someone be filming the moment it crashes? Also his business being repairing super cars it seems suss.

im betting a nice insurance scam, buy a screwed up car, get it running and wreck it LOL $1m in the pocket, the thing could have had a 1998 Mazda Miata engine in it for all they know

I doubt the guys filming the crash were part of whatever scam it might be. Their reactions (and their foolish, foolish assumptions that it was a Lambo) seem to indicate as such.

However, I cannot help but be suspicious about the other parts. He repairs expensive cars, and he, almost for no reason, drives it straight into the water. Personally, I think he bought it to fix it and ran into problems when repairing it and couldn't sell it for profit, so he decided to make money via the insurance route...

vid no longer avalaible because of copyright????:rofl:
