Default Bugati and my C5

I was out getting some pool stuff today with my 'Vert and this pulled in. Nothing short of amazing, it looks fast just sitting still. The owner has had it up to 170 at road Atlanta recently, said it was just warming up. here are few pics.My C5 is in the second pic,upper left corner.

I understand it's a fast car, expensive and all, but IMHO that thing is ugly.

I don't care for that particular color combination, but anyone who doesn't appreciate a Bugati of any year can't be a true car enthusiast...
