LA MARQUE, Texas - A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering his million-dollar sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston.

Comment: That sux!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA...

Too funny.

 

[Rocker]

Salt water makes it a total, wonder if he will buy another with the insurance money or will he discover a more compelling use of the funds?
Any witnesses besides the Pelican? Unless you are a Pelican all Pelicans look the same.

Just shows to go ya that lots of money does not equate with good grey matter in yer head.....he probably doesn't give a shit.....
Do you suppose drugs or alcohol were involved......????

 

[KingBear]

What an idiot.

 

[Shorty]

Must have been an important phone call. Just goes to show you that driving and talking on a cell phone don't mix. Bet he feels like a dumbass.

Shorty

Don't they say things are bigger in Texas?

 

[gcrider]

Tow truck driver to Bugatti driver - "So, just how much did that cell phone cost, anyway?"

Bugatti driver to tow truck driver - "At this point, about $1.25 Million."

Apparently it's some big wig, article said he did not want to be identified but had gotten calls from the gov of calif and other movie celebs....

 

[Bonafide]

A pelican and a cell phone were his reasoning? Probably more like a bottle of Grey Goose and a BJ.

 

[Texas94fs]

The engine actually gurgled for 15 minutes before offing itself. Ridiculous.

See what happens when you put a Texan in charge?

 

[KingBear]

Kinda makes you wonder what happened to just lining them up and planting them nose down in the yard.

I reckon it was Jesse James

 

[bkiser]

That was my guess also....

If it was Sandra's car, then I expect Jesse James is a Dead Man.

If your referring to the wing....It deploys at about 70mph....And has a switch to raise it if you wanna look cool at lower speeds, like a lot of Porsche s. To get it to 200+ mph, it lowers again, as does the entire car to clean it up & make it faster.

Have a look
