My first spin in a Veyron.

Well, I was up in Los Angeles for the past week scouting out my new living situation as well as a few lunch interviews with some hollywood shit heads.

My uncle's well "connected" we'll say up there.. so he has friends who have STUPID toys..

Today.. his good friend showed me his latest and greatest.. along with a short drive down Sunset.

All I can say is NO car will ever compare.. and I was just the passenger.

You may feel that way but the fact is no other car manufacturer has the will or resources to have undertaken such a project, not Ferrari, BMW, anyone.

The challenge and achievement that VAG has done with this car is beyond anything which have came before or will possibly ever be seen again. There may be quicker but none will ever offer the range of abilities.

The Concorde moment in car terms.

stupid meaning he has far too much money haha.

I'm moving myself up to Los Angles next month.. I'm excited, time to start making some GOOD money I guess you could say.

The vehicle was just amazing, and I'm actually staying in email contact WITH the owner.. maybe, just MAYBE.. one day I can drive it.
