BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) Federal authorities say an East Texas man has admitted to deliberately driving his $1 million car into Gulf waters so that he could collect insurance on the vehicle.
Authorities announced Tuesday that 39-year-old Andy Lee House of Lufkin has pleaded guilty to wire mail fraud.
They say he purchased a Bugatti Veyron and had it insured for $2.2 million. The elegant vehicle is considered one of the fastest in the world.

My first thought: Either insurance fraud or a divorce.

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?

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...:^)

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.
