Default More money than brains

If this joker comes to a track near you someone needs to put a large X on the front and rear of his vehicle so we can stay as far away from him as possible.

I wonder if he is the Bozo who drove a Veyron into a lake in Texas a few days ago. Said a Pelican flew in front of him and it scared him so much he dropped his cell phone and drove off the road

Doesn't look like he even braked...

Maybe he was watching youtube on his cell phone.

The only part of his "story" that is true is the part involving a cell phone. My guess is he was on it, dropped it into the passenger side of the car, reached over to get it, and pulled the wheel to the right as he reached over to get it.

Money can't fix stupid.

With NASA an 'X' on the car means "Instructor".

That was an insurance scam or some dumb publicity stunt. Too many coincidences involved for it to be anything else.

Kinda makes me wonder......maybe he gets bored of cars quickly and then finds creative ways to get a new one.
