All I want for Christmas

...is a really hot car. This Christmas, I'm making an exception. Typically, I would always without hestiation take a 1970's era American musclecar over a foreign automobile, even if it was a firecracker of a sports car.

Well, I found a firecracker. And Sherry, I want one. It is a Bugatti Veyron. Say what? Yeah, a Bugatti.



know it sounds stupid, it doesn't have the mystique of Ferrari or Lamborghini. But, it's a pretty fast little car. How fast, you might ask? I might tell you. It goes 252 miles an hour. Yep, that's right - over TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY miles an hour. The tires are specially designed as even normal very high performance tires will melt at that speed. At 735 horsepower it will take your head off, going from 0-62 MPH in 2.5 seconds. Yes, that wasn't a mistype - from a standing start to 62 miles an hour you will spend 2.5 SECONDS.
I really want one bad Sherry. And at $1,700,000 I don't want anything else this year.
