Of all the exotics out there, I rank Veyrons among the ugliest ever made. I don't like the way the U-shaped grille meshes with the hood. The rear air scoops look tacked on. The whole car looks funny from any angle, even from the side.

If you like Loti, you would have loved this one, back in the day:

It was one of my favorite cars, although I imagine it was pretty hard to drive...

I'm not sure I'd actually want to drive a super car. Assuming I had enough money that I wasn't worried about it being harmed. It just doesn't sound like they'd be all that fun. People would always be gawking. They're designed for 200+mph on a closed track not city streets.

There was an awesome episode of top gear where they took a Ferrari, Ford GT and a Zonda to Paris. It took them hours to get out of a parking garage because the cars were too low to the ground to clear the exit ramp. They had to make ramps out of some pallets and still had to disassemble the airdamn on the Zonda...
An M3 or M5 is about as crazy as I'd go if I had the money.
