For your Friday viewing pleasure, I like to present this “What not to do” video. The video was taken by some person in Las Vegas (I guess he has one of those take anywhere digital camcorder).
Zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds, top speed 253MPH! All that doesn’t matter when this happens to your $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron. The awesome Bugatti Veyron drinks gasoline at a prodigious rate, so the driver should keep an eye on that fuel gauge. Remember, the Internet is watching. And laughing.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

It would have been great if the guy that heard him, came over and started messing with him. Haha, I can understand a Hummer or something running out of gas, but this is just dumb and funny!
He can afford a Bugatti I think he can afford gasoline.
LOL that would have been hilarious to see that big beast slaming off the ground the “I want to go buy that guy some gas”
funny!!!
That was hilarious
$1.7 mill and it doesn’t make its own fuel??? lol hilarious
loool nice one
That guy must feel like the BIGGEST tool ever.
The laughter on the camera were just evil.
Well, I don’t know about evil, they sounded pretty dumb to me, like bunch of college kids smoking some pot really…
Not that I don’t smoke…lol…
Yeah, that IS funny! That thing MUST really drink the gas for someone not to notice how low they are getting.
You’re lucky, in SA, it would cost you an arm and a leg just to start the thing up!
Gas is still under $3 a gallon here in NJ. Something like cheapest in the country I heard.
Wait, I though this was Las Vegas.
Hey pages are cheaper than gas…lol…
that’s ironic!
What, because he has 1.7m to spend on the car yet he can’t get the gas?
Not really ironic, just unfortunate.
That’s why I always bring a spare gas can in my Hyundai.
don’t hyundai’s use like NO gas anyway?
I get ~30 miles per gallon…
sh!t happens, what can i say?!
People just could not afford petrol after buying the car.
That’s funny. How many times in your life will you get to see that? I hope he bought lunch for everyone who pushed.
Probably not. He’s probably a rich ass****
I agree, why did they even help him in the first place?
Hey, I’d help the guy. Just because he has a $1.7 million car does’t mean he’s an a**.
every time i make a comment, it adds one to the sidebar. Problem is, that Steven isn’t me. DAM
LOL. This is hilarious!!!!
If you’re going Top speed on that car, It’ll burn it’s fuel in about 12 minutes.
yeah that is really unfortunate… but its a bughatti, if you can buy that you can buy gas even if its 5 dollars per gallon
Click for Nick
if you’ve got the $ to buy this car, you should have the money to maintain it and buy fuel for it to drive …or ? …
All I can hear is the laughing and nothing else LOL
-Mike
Yup, looks like another stupid video taken by stupid people.
This is so funny. This guy spent so much money on the car that the gas is not in the budget anymore lol
Gulp, gulp. gulp.
Surely everyone has pushed the limit on their gas?
Still an awesome car, if you haven’t touched a Bugatti Veyron, you can by helping him/her push it to the petrol stataion
Maybe they will give you a free ride in it, just to run out again and have to fill up.

These are two a penny in Dubai. It’s like “an average car”
Haha thats funny
The most amazing thing about that car, is the manufacturing costs. It costs around $10 million to produce 1 of those cars – so obviously they aren’t in it for the profit, just the engineering challenge.
Who’d have thought a company owned by Volkswagen would do something like that.
Well, if they sell 20 of them they’ll make $28 million in revenue. The $10 million is, I assume, mostly R&D. So at some point they would turn a profit. Companies don’t stay in business by losing money.
Wikipedia says different. It’s missing a citation, but motoring shows / magazines like Top Gear have confirmed it. Around $10 million USD (£5 million GBP) production cost per car.
VW were willing to take a loss because they wanted to see whether 400kph would be achieved, and they are only handmaking a few of these cars.
That is totally fitting in this day and age.
