But Dad, it's just a little scratch.
No mere fender bender. . .
The Bugatti Veyron is the world's most expensive and fastest road car. Capable of speeds of 235 mph it is nearly as powerful as a modern Formula 1 car. So, when a young man smashed up a Bugatti Veyron in Middlesex, England, it became the most expensive road accident ever. You see the Bugatti Veyron has a sticker price of £840,000 GBP (that's $1,623,870 USD). For some strange reason the man who owned this particular Bugatti paid £925,000 ($1, 788,500 USD) for this one. And he didn't even get the pleasure of destroying it. He had only owned it for a week and rented it to a young man for the day for £20,000. The young man was going 100 mph in a 40 mph zone when he lost control, spun the car around three times, hit another car and smashed into a tree. Let's just hope the owner wasn't insured by State Farm.
