I needed a laugh this afternoon and this story did it for me. $1,000,000 Bugatti + 1 pelican + 1 cellphone = splashdown fail. Expensive problem for the driver but a cheap laugh for me.

  What an arsehole... My thoughts on the story: QUOTE "jerked the wheel" /facepalmQUOTE dropped his cell phone They should invent a device for cellphones allows you to still use them while driving, that would be pretty neat...QUOTE "the car’s front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon." How fast WAS this jackass going while trying to use his cellphone on a windy road?QUOTE "The man, who refused to give his name," I wouldn't give my name either if I was that big of a douche...QUOTE "It’s the rarest car in the world, not something you can just replace, the man said." O rly?

I'd like to know exactly who this guy is. Police won't release the name and there is no rumor that I've found stating the driver's name. It would have to be a very short list of people that this could be receiving a call from Gov. Schwarzenegger and driving a car with this high a pricetag.
