If I were fortunate enough to be able to afford a Veyron, I would never parallel park it on a street. It could get sideswiped by a gawker, or backed into by a giant SUV who "didn't see it" behind them as they parked by sound.

That's must be the worst part about owning a Veyron -- parking among the unwashed masses!

What? How could you say that, when he just said he would! I would definitely care about any vehicle I own, especially the nicer the car is.

I do often say that I am way to **** to own a nice car. I should just buy a beater, then I would not care about it.

Umm I don't know if you know this but you did not park next to a Veyron.

























A Veyron parked next to you.

Well actually, he parked in FRONT of the veyron, not next to it. Also, being in front means he's first

Nice. I think that I would rather rent one than own one though. Myke, this is completely off-topic but what did you put in place of your antenna? It looks really nice.

I think what he means is if you've got enough money to own, drive, and parallel park a Veyron somewhere, you probably have enough money to treat it like an actual car and not a museum piece.

I guess y'all heard about this unfortunate Veyron (#15), south of Houston:

Here's how it turned out:

Personally, I don't get it. To me they're one of the ugliest cars on the road; then again, I grew up in the Edsel days, and they were mocked out of existence. Younger set, here's an Edsel:

(There are 4 Edsels in one tiny town about 40 miles from here.)

If I had the money, I'd buy a Lotus Esprit or Vector W8 and keep the rest of the money for gas. 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.
