Veyron test drive: FAIL

A guy at Bentley Gold Coast in Chicago was about to enjoy the awesome power of a Veyron when he failed to make it 15 ft w/o wrecking it. Way to go. Hope you have good insurance. Listen for the crunch going backwards and also pulling forward.

A car that is worth that much money should not be driving around in the middle of a city lol.

If he is qualified to test drive the car

I'm sure the deductible on his insurance is not going to make that big of a dent in his wallet. Other than his pride no one was hurt and **** happens

The dealer's insurance will cover that, not his. It's not a rental. Insurance when you test drive is provided by the dealership...

As someone who's visited that dealership I'm surprised they didn't have it parked forward or on the street for a test drive. I've seen them move cars around and it's a bit of a pain to pull out sometimes.

That isn't an excuse for this guy but still... it's a million+ car, you'd think they''d make it as easy as possible for him.

i've seen a veyron (and just about everything else you could imagine) driving around the streets of london. those who have enough money don't really care about such trivialities such as curbs, pedestrians, etc....
