Car was rented.
I saw that.
I was just speaking in principle as to why somebody would buy a Bugatti and spend tens of thousands in modifying it and then throw it off a cliff.
They think they will profit from the views.
It’s a strange kind of economics at work to make money on YouTube.
Here is a video...
