On my ride today I stopped by my local shop and was tempted by this blue car. It'll get me to the trails fast, they say. Matches the RIP9 color it seems.

But can you put a bike rack on it? NO. Does it glow in the dark? NO! Fuhgettaboutit then!

Asking price? 2 milliion dollars. mu-ha-ha-ha!

Meh, the Veyron isn't my cup-O-tea. Seems like a car for Miami drug dealers, expensive and well.... ugly. For those kind of duckets I'll take one each of these two. Speed and beauty personified.

Nice idea, François !
You would make a good action buying the Veyron:
It would help the French economy, indirectly helping me to buy some nice american 29"er :

By the way, i saw a picture of a Porsche carrera with a roof rack at last year Sea Otter

But can you put a bike rack on it?

Sure. It looks a heck of a lot bigger than a 2" receiver hitch on that thing, but get a nice adaptor and use your favorite hitch rack in that big hole in ther rear.

Wait until they come out with a station wagon version.

Vintage Corner

Francois, may I suggest a vintage Lamborghini Espada 400GT? It's a V-12 powered four-seat granturismo with breathtaking Italian design presence, and good pre-owned examples are surprisingly affordable. They can be driven daily and there's plenty of cargo room for 29er parts (or Marzocchi girls).

I suspect you haven't owned many Italian cars...

Nope

Only Italian motorcycles.

That's funny. The British weren't much better. Lucas electric.....the prince of darkness.

A $2 million car vrs a $350,000 plane.

Compare a $2 million car against a $2 million plane, or even a $450,000 lancair or mooney...the 240kt (265mph or so) planes would kill it...

It was a good episode though...


I fly at night all the time.

Bugatti is owned by Volkswagen... so this car is half italian, half german, full crazy. But I'm sure it's more reliable than most italian cars of the past. And I think it's 4WD so it means you can take it off-road to reach those remote trails no one knows about.

I just checked on Thule's 'rack my car' site... they don't even list Bugatti.

Miami drug dealers?? All them million dollar exotics fit the bill.

Ugly? Just look at that cute pudgy nose...

 

[Jayem]

yeah, butt-ugly unfortunatly, even more so with that two-tone paintjob. But I'd still take it.

Here's the video of the car going 407 km/h. Watch him cry at the end :cryin:.
