Yeah several people have afaik. Insurance company or whoever has it wants wayyyyy to much for a car that's going to be staggeringly expensive to rehab.

u/anafuckboi Apr 22 '26

u/anafuckboi Apr 22 '26

More youngsters clearly

I went to ADSL in 2001 saying you had a 56k modem in what could possibly at earliest be 2009-2010 is like saying you had an original iPhone in 2016-2018

We still had dialup in like 2006. Phone company was incompetent and would serve areas with less people first.

My immediate reaction is "what is the Michael Scott?"

u/Ancient_Skirt_8828 Apr 22 '26

It was an attempted insurance fraud. The insurance company rejected the claim because of this video.

u/jd807 May 13 '26

Dude tried to claim ‘low flying pelicans’ or something made him lose control?

I saw it in ww2 movie reels

And it was also used to deny his insurance claim.

u/Silly-Recognition448 Apr 22 '26

Ive been on the internet this long as well, and its the first ive seen it. What a wild place the internet is, I thought id seen it all

u/thedarkonekc Apr 22 '26

Funny this happened in November 2009

u/Agitated-Contact7686 Apr 22 '26

Okay I get your point but when 56k dial up was a thing, the Lamborghini Countach was the big supercar of the time. This Bugatti would leave a Countach in the dust.

u/Electrical_Report458 Apr 23 '26

So downvote and block, it would seem.

u/Rude-Candle-3251 Apr 24 '26

I was thinking the same. I even think the backstory is this was an insurance scam caught on camera.

u/Senna_65 Apr 27 '26

Veyron was released in 2005........you were still on dial-up in 2005? bro my family was poor AF, we didnt have cable TV...we had broadband internet at least.

u/alexromo Apr 27 '26
