Said he was distracted by a bird.

He should be shot. Not for the fraud, thats just jail. Shot for ruining this car.

My first thought: Either insurance fraud or a divorce.

He said he was trying to avoid a pelican and the article says another another motorist caught this “accident” on video.

I thought he had won that?

I read about a guy that won a Bugatti and wrecked it as well once he found how much the insurance was.

A bus passenger had caught the video and I saw it. The video showed him suddenly veering off the highway and straight into the lake.

A car like that is going to be pictured and recorded just parking at the grocery store, let alone hauling butt near the Gulf.

How does someone this stupid get to buy a million dollar car?

"He said he was distracted by a pelican".

A wonderful bird is the pelican
His bill will hold more than his belican
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week
But damned if I know how the helican

I'd rather have an Aston Martin and they don't cost 7 figures.

I think the elongated toilet seat radiator is a sort of trade mark...:^)

Well played, Sir.
Where did you find that image?

Great movie.
Poor, poor 928.

I don’t care for the Veyron. It’s ugly, too heavy, ridiculously complex and it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

But this guy deserves jail time all the same.
