This may be a dumb questions, but what's that intermittent high pitched sound? It sounds like the air brakes on a semi.

So this dude is 22 with a Veyron and his google profile says he got started in 1998. So he's been a media "mogul" since 11?

A couple of years ago a snobby substitute teacher at the elementary school where I worked brought in a huge glass jar full of change to help her classroom win a school-wide contest. She proudly told the kids in the class that her fiance owned a car detailing business and that the change came from all the cars he

@Bauhaus: Aha. Mystery solved.

I agree that the mechanical assault on this classic is sad. I happen to really like the wrap, though I like it better on the Phantom. It's kind of a great f*ck you to those who are overly precious about such expensive vanity cars.
