Cut-down Model 92 Rossi lever-action "pistols" are useless, too, but they are selling like hotcakes - Steve McQueen used one as "The Bounty Hunter" and Steve McQueen was cool. Hell, even I want one, and I can't think of any earthly use for it.
It would be cool to have one of those Bugattis sitting in my garage - a drool rag hanging on a nail would look nice next to it.

true I mean its like anything else, its highly subjective and one mans dream car seems like another womans nightmare, although Ironically I know one woman who likes the MV daytona and one who doesnt get it at all
so its really just all based on your personal taste and theres no wrong answer
its just that well I just dont feel its a proper bugatti, I mean there are some truly beautiful ones out there from the 1930's

and this just doesnt feel like it should even have that badge on it, plus tops you need a max speed of a 170 - 190 for europe anyways, 200 - 240 just sounds frankly stupid, idiotic and completely useless
and even at max speed the veyron will run out of gas in about 20 minutes, so you cant even realistically cover 250 miles in an hour without filling up about 3 times and thats with a 30 gallon tank I think
and given the choice of having a daytona, miura, testarossa for about 1/2 the price of the bugatti I just dont really see the apeal of it, its purely a status symbol and that idiot tom cruse owns one too.
and I wouldnt want to be associated with the hollywood riff raff of today by driving one and certainly not Tom "Moron" Cruise
however Don has always had good taste in guns and cars so with him I'd dont mind that fact plus he even had a 71' cuda in one of his shows, complete with a shaker hood, one of my favorite cars of the muscle car era.
but thats just me but even looking at this as something like a .50 call desert eagle or magnum 500 of cars it still seems even more impractical than those being used for self defense.
its just when you come right down to it completely and utterly useless, where as the testarossa, miura and daytona could be used for what they were ment for as a long distance cruser on the autobahn and the autostrada to use a veyron as a long distance cruser on the autobahn like the above cars would be an utterly pointless exercise since its always running half cocked and it could never be used for its full potental regardless if its on a speed limitless road or on a track
plus actually the miura is more like a regular car given its design problems.
although actually theres an interesting idea, given its only pulling a low number of revs at about a 110 and a 120 mph, what would its range be at those speeds? would it be better than the other cars like the F458 italia at that crusing speed range wise?
