Bugatti crash could increase sales of used Caravans in New York

A man in Texas recently drove his expensive sports car into a salt marsh because of a pelican and the amusing details of this story might inspire car shoppers to look for slower and cheaper vehicles like used Caravans in New York.

Many men and women spend their lives longing for an exotic sports car, but what they don’t dream about is what it’s like to completely ruin one. The Huffington Post recently published a story about a man in La Marque, Texas who drove his $1.25 million Bugatti Veyron into a marsh after a pelican came in for a closer look at the masterpiece and distracted him. Stricken, the man dropped his cell phone and lost control of the car when he reached to the floor for it. He was not injured.

“Salt water isn’t good for anything,” said local police officer lieutenant Greg Gilchrist to the news source.

Unfortunately, car accidents are just a fact of life. Most motorists are responsible and protect themselves by car paying for auto insurance. Moreover, most motorist don’t drive Veyrons because they’re too expensive and useless for people who need a car they can bring their kids to school in, like a Dodge Caravan. Perhaps this Bugatti crash will make auto shoppers look for vehicles like used Caravans in New York instead of this year’s hottest sports car.
