It's boring, but I can't figure out why a 1000hp car clicking off a 10 bores me. It shouldn't, but it does.

It sure steepens the curve on banging the gears right or you will get a real bang and a coupon for prosthetic legs.

Because It was bought and not built?

I love everything about the Bugatti but one thing. The sound. It is so tame sounding. You would think 16 cylinders and 4 turbos would create a vortex of noise, but instead it sounds like a VW Golf TDI.

I'd drive a Gremlin if you gave me the keys, so what?

If I had the means I would rock an Aston Martin DBS.

^^ FTW. FYI, that is a V12 Vantage. It still has the DBS engine with a smaller and lighter chassis.

it's way more fun when you have to have arm wrestle the steering wheel to not slam in the wall at around a buck twenty.

None of my cars have power steering. I rip it out. It sucks to parallel park, but otherwise it's awesome. Granted I have the grossly deformed forearms of a handjob masseuse outside a Navy base, but it comes in handy for opening pickle jars.

ha.

smaller lighter cars without ps ain't so bad.

the only thing I ever had a hard time driving was a '67 3/4 ton Ford that also lacked power brakes.

It did however come with a big block 390 and a Dana 90 rear end and I do believe 4.50 or so gear?

it'd maybe do 90 mph but get there in a hurry.

So freakin fun to bust a** on newer idiot kids in their daddy's rams and silverados.

The fact that it was a faded peeling General Lee orange with a overbuilt black and rusty roll bar behind the cab made it that much better. and an 8ft bed.
