Bugatti Veyron plunges into lake
It seems that some people do not know that a sports car can not drive on water, even if it has 1000 horsepower. What we have here is a video showing a Bugatti Veyron that ended up in a lake somewhere in Texas. The unnamed driver (obviously he did not mention his name, because everyone would have made fun of him) lost control of his Bugatti Veyron as he was traveling north on Interstate 45 in Texas when a ``low-flying pelican`` distracted his attention.

Rendered images of the Bugatti Bordeaux
A famous Latin quote says that ``De gustibus non est disputandum``. I agree with this Latin saying. Still, some things are too obvious to not notice or discuss. Mercedes was a visionary. A visionary of ugliness if you ask me. In 2004 the German automaker launched the Mercedes CLS , a completely new type of car that can be best described as a four door coupe sports sedan. Sounds like hell, I know. All of the other automakers looked skeptically at the new creation of Mercedes. But, time proved that Mercedes had placed a smart bet with the CLS. The sales of the ...
