Bugatti or Maybach?

Postby chornedsnorkack » Wed Apr 29, 2009 5:37 am

What is a better $1 000 000+ car - Bugatti Veyron or Maybach Landaulet?

Depends on what you want to do.

If you're going to drive, the Bugatti, if you're not going to drive, the Maybach. ;)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Maybach: you can't go to the supermarket in it (doesn't fit in a parkingspace).

Veyron: you can't go to the supermarket in it(your groceries will not fit inside the car).

Conclusion: both are utterly useless.

Crash ;)

Veyron: A fanny magnet
Merc: Room to "entertain", but will you pull with it :-/

So Crash, both practicality tests are a fail, yes, both are useless ;D

How long can a car be and fit in a parking lot?

Fitting in is not generally a problem, rather more getting in in the first place and then having the room to swing it into a space. By my local supermarket parking is no problem with a Maybach..............just as long as you lift it in and out by crane ;D
