Check out my new ride!

Picked it up at the dealer yesterday. I had the dealer rep drive my car home and asked them to take a picture of us on the freeway.

According a write up on it, the tail deploys at speed for performance. When it goes for top speed (250mph) the tail tucks away to reduce drag and the car lowers it self and I believe some panels under the car rearainge them selves for better air flow. The tail also acts as a speed brake.

I wish I had a Bugatti! We were heading to the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium at about 8:50AM. I was driving the Honda in the 2nd fastest lane when I saw a GIANT horseshoe grille in the left sideview and I was floored and took a double take over my left shoulder to check it out and I was thinking NO WAY is that a Veyron!! having just read the recent January Motor Trend. The car was poking along at about 75mph and I pulled out into the fast lane to catch up to it. My girlfriend snapped these shots as we trailed it despite a battery low indicator but fortunately it worked before we exited in Santa Monica. The car continued onto Highway 1. Oh man soooo much money on wheels. Not the prettiest car on the road but 1001hp, 16 cylinders, and 4 turbos does command a lot of respect

Here's the best part....a very rich woman was driving it.
