Bugatti? Boy Howdy!

Filed in archive on December 17, 2005

So we're clearing the supper table and I get the "Have you read about the new Bugatti?" I get questions like that from my father-in-law all the time (often with no context surrounding it). "The one with 1,000 horsepower?" I asked. "Yes," he said. Obviously I had but, you know, when cars get this silly (silly to me), I never really look into them. You'd think I would. Anyway, Dad continued, "There's a good movie about a dancer (Isadora Duncan) that had a Bugatti in it. The movie was with what's her name... Oh! what's her name. The sisters. They're British... Come on!" It went on that way for some time. Really. Anyway, he finally came up with Vanessa Redgrave and the movie Isadora. The movie does sound pretty interesting, if a little morbid. Anyway, the car my father-in-law was talking about (at the start of this all) is the Bugatti Veyron. If a car is over $1 million and goes 250+ MPH... is that really a car? Bugatti thinks so. Do you?
