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.

"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 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.

What a dummy all he had to do was to park it near a taco stand and it would be gone in seconds.

I saw a Veyron (sporting Saudi plates) in the valet parking section of the Mall of Dubai earlier this year.I thought about trying to hotwire it but decided that 10 years in an Arabian prison wasn't worth it.

Koenigsegg Agera S will blow the doors off the Veyron.

Look it up for yourself.
