outlier -> Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/2/2009 9:48:09 PM)

You know those stories you hear about someone dying and
then a very rare expensive car is found in their garage?

Well, here is one for you:

New York Times

The Dailymail

Oh I bet Jay Leno is will be all over this one at an auction.

You know, I hear a lot about "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" on this site, but this time...

You're just wrong.  That car is HOT.  I'd be all over that like a herpes on a fratboy.

That's a heck of a thing!
I don't think it's going to be the most expensive ever, though. Frankly, it's an oddly-proportioned little beast.
If it had a racing history, *maybe* it could break through the economic malaise and pull the big number, but even with the pedigree, rarity, and originality, it doesn't have the *oh baby I want to make love to your tailpipe*  factor. The windscreen is too wide and angular, the grille too deep-set, and the luggage rack stands out like a turd in a punchbowl.
Now, that's not to say that I'd kick it out of my garage for leaking oil, or that it won't redistribute a reasonable chunk of wealth amongst the elites, but the serious collectors will be saying "Yeah, certainly, but... [&:]"




LaTigresse -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 4:09:16 AM)

They will not have any trouble finding multiple buyers to bid that car into collectable auto history!! What a beauty. And yes, I imagine Leno is drooling all over himself. Odds are it will disappear into some collectors garage never to be seen again.

I would gladly move the hay in my garage to make room......he he. Sadly, I just happen to be short a few dollars.




wandersalone -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 5:06:21 AM)

Oh that is beautiful!!!!!!!

BondageBarbieX -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 6:16:04 AM)

OMG!I love that car!




MasterG2kTR -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 9:27:15 AM)

Sure makes me wish I was rich enough to even think about bidding on it




LadyEllen -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 10:41:53 AM)

ah big deal! My Jag goes to 60 in well under 10 seconds and does well over 130mph; dont see what the fuss is over this ancient piece of junk!

bet it doesnt even have a CD player

Lynnxz -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 10:46:40 AM)

Lots of people have jags... but there's only what... like 17 of these or something? [:D]




LadyEllen -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 10:48:33 AM)

thats no argument in favour of the Italian junker!

the evidence is clear; this Bugatti was obviously so bad they couldnt sell them. Meanwhile the Jag is so much better they sold millions.

I'll keep that argument in mind if I'm ever in the position where I'm contemplating an original Waterhouse vs. a velvet Elvis.

Personally, if I were ever to drop a ridiculous amount of money on a car, I'd get a Tesla roadster.  That car has it all -- sex appeal, great moves, and fully electric.  mmmmm.




Lynnxz -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 10:57:43 AM)

They made plenty I think, but there's just not that many around after 72 years.

That one is a little awkward (imo), but it appears the other Bugatti's are pretty nice looking....

Wiki Bugatti

And this one is just gorgeous.... holy crap




LadyEllen -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 10:58:18 AM)

No, no, no!

You're meant to get all excited and argue how wonderful the Bugatti is!

Honestly, you people are just no fun!

happypervert -> RE: Most Expensive Car Ever? We Will See (1/3/2009 11:01:18 AM)

If it gets the expected $4.3 MM at auction, it will NOT be the most expensive car ever -- at the 2007 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale a 1966 Shelby "Super Snake" Cobra fetched $5.5MM, and that record still stands. Also, with the economy in rough shape this isn't a great time for the car to be coming on the market.

That Bugatti is pretty cool, though.

A Saleen, the American supercar. Check this bitch out.
