Fudge_Brownie Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I didn't read the article (will read later) but I bet he was paid by the Chevy PR department enough to make it worth his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilber33 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Holy shit. Did you read the article that was linked to that one, about the guy who trailers his Veyron to his favorite roads, and then flies there on his private jet to save money! http://jalopnik.com/5449046/veyron-owner-finds-private-jet-travel-cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilber33 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 There was some cash involved and the trade would only happen if they had a buyer lined up for the Veyron. I don't blame the guy, especially when: $21,000 for a routine service, $38,500 for a set of four tires and $46,000 every fourth tire change to have his wheels x-rayed to check for stress fractures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 ugh. It was not straight up... read the article Yup, undisclosed amount of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 And now that I've read it, I'm surprised he put 20,000 miles on it. Sounds like he actually drove it around. Am I the only one who thinks that paint scheme is kinda ugly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeraldJ Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 my brother lives in midland, tx. He is big into Porsche, calling now to see if he seen or heard about this or if he knows who bought/sold it. Funny thing is his ex-wife owns a Dodge dealership there. Not sure if its a Dodge/Chevy dealer :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Betty Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 meh i'd still take a z06 and pocket the extra 50 grand, or put the extra 50 grand into the z06 and be faster than the zr1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnlogauge Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Why the fuck would you pay 46000 grand to have your wheels xrayed. fuck that bullshit so they dont explode at 250mph, cause that would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPTDoh Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Doesn't look red to me, but it could be the camera was set wrong. I still think it's super obnoxious and takes away from the prestige of the car. Maybe not as much as a chromed out body, but still.. so they dont explode at 250mph, cause that would suck. haha.. I wonder what it costs to replace a wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
