Gentlemen, behold!
A 2.1 million dollar car.
Seriously, anyone who buys one of these things has entirely too goddamned much money. Thankfully, the people at Wired still have a sense of humor about, well, everything, because where else are you going to see "Then they had to sacrifice 100 virgins and have the production facility in Molsheim, France, blessed by druids." in a write-up of any car?

I disagree. Anyone who buys one of those has *just enough* goddamned money.
253mph. That's Two Hundred and Fifty-Three miles per hour. Just thinking about that makes me want to have sex. The brilliant engineering makes my nerd senses tingle. The exterior isn't much to my liking, but I'd drive a clown car if it could take off and handle like the Bugatti. It's a miracle of modern engineering. As someone who loves cars, whether it be working on them, tweaking them, or driving them like a bat out of hell, I must register my complete and absolute disagreement. This car exists because people were willing to pay a lot of money to make a beautiful idea a reality. It's goddamn art.
And on that note... I'll be in my bunk.

No one NEEDS to buy artwork, or a fast car, or a private island, or a basketball team. But you'll put good money into something that makes you happy, and if money weren't an issue, I'd be less happy with a Ferrari than I would with, say, a McLaren. Because while a Ferrari is nothing to scoff at, it will still have its ass handed to it by the noble efforts of the McLaren F1. For someone who has the money to throw around to support the development of truly phenomenal cars, there's no reason not to go for the best, if the truly revolutionary machines are what gets your, uh.. pardon the pun... your motor running. Did I mention the Veyron's got 10 radiators in it? *drool*
And as for the McLaren vs. a Bugatti? See for yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXxVszw20Sc)
