You aren't kidding! The Bugatti Veyron has a 26.4 gallon (European) fuel tank, and at full chat, it will empty it in 12 minutes. That's surprisingly good: ~2 mpg @ 250mph!
And don't even ask about the servicing costs...because I did: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bugatti/veyron/mpg[^]

Wow, those costs are outrageous... I guess the old saying applies in this case... "If you have to ask how much? ...you probably can't afford it"
I can't afford it.

Yep. Me too.
And I gave up learning to fly helicopters when I worked out how expensive a hobby that was going to be!

Flying lessons are expensive... but as far as ownership, you can always join a flying club that spreads the cost across all club members. It's still not cheap by any means but it's a lot better than trying to own or even lease your own.

Not surprising, a tad more expensive then I had anticipated but the old adage "if you have to ask the price you can't afford it" applies in every case here.

I know how to get over on those maintenance costs; I'll just take it to Sears Auto Center!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Why so extravagant? Surely the pros Walmart Auto Care Center could do the job.

For the same price they could probably have an airplane that would go faster. I don't understand why we still bother with land speed records when we can go so much faster in the air.

Anybody can own a car and the license is very inexpensive, a pilots license on the other had is a little more complicated and...oh hell it's a macho thing!

Just great! Driving home is going to be real interesting, now that I've ripped my eyes from their sockets. Thanks!

Your wife called; would you mind stopping by Walmart on the way home?

After seeing that I will never be quite the same and cannot undo it. Bleach won't work either. What to do?

WT??? never heard of digestive biscuits?
|
|
|
|
|
I think they are called Gram (Graham????) Crackers in the US.
Digestives are the sort-of default biscuit in the UK.
|
|
|
|
|
According to Wikipedia, the graham cracker was originally conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress unhealthy carnal urges. Just sayin'.
