This happened just down the road from my home. There was actually someone doing a video and caught the whole incident.

There was NO -low-flying pelican - guy was speeding on the feeder - talking on his cell phone and dropped it. He reached for the phone, and jerked the wheel, ending up in the water

Sure it can be salvaged. It takes a lot of stupidity to total a million dollar car.

Just another instance of someone who can cut the check but not the mustard.

“Man Drives Million-Dollar Bugatti Into Pond”

As I said about more than few of the motorists I saw in Southern California
(AND other places!!!):

“Rich enough to own it; too freakin’ dumb to drive it!”

(FR Sidebar: When I was in Southern California, I listened to the
uber-liberal Pacifica Radio. I was STUNNED to hear that they had
a car show. And I nearly had a freakin’ heart attack to hear the
host sing the praises of this hyper-expensive Bugatti!!!)
