My latest disaster...

[Matthew Kane 1,343]

Wow I am really happy this is working out, we have a great community on here

I'm thinking of starting a GoFundMe myself. I really need a Bugatti Chiron. Any chance you guys could contribute a few 100's of thousands?

Thanks to the generosity of my friends here as well as at FSDeveloper, the goal has been met and I am hoping to arrange for my poor car to be towed to the repair shop tomorrow so it can hopefully be fixed quickly.

I had two appointments at the Veterans Administration Clinic this morning, so had to call for a ride from SCAT mini-bus service. They charged me $15 for roundtrip service, which frankly is very reasonable considering that UBER car ride wanted $60 for the same trip!!

I'm asking USD$ 3.1 million for my my Bugatti Chiron Noire. If the GoFundMe guys here can meet that price it's yours. But if that isn't possible, how about something a bit better. I'll take USD$ 63 million for my 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. Or how about USD$ 12000 for my 2014 Honda Accord (it's only been driven 103435 miles).......

"  The engine in the Chiron has a peak power output of 1,479 hp at 6,700 rpm and 1,180 lb⋅ft of torque " 

That's probably more horse power than a Supermarine Spitfire !!!

No way! In those days the clutches were crazy heavy. Give me a modern car any day. If it hasn't got a satnav and lots of airbags, ABS traction control, electronic brake force distribution and torque vectoring its no deal.

This is relatively cheap. New, lifetime maintenance free, lifetime free insurance, and lifetime easy storage. Most importantly, very affordable and available now. A work of art.

I'd like to post a message of great social and political import...

Oh. Lord, won't you buy me a Bugatti Chiron ?

My friends all drive Porsche's, I must make amends!

Worked hard all my life, no help from my friends.

Oh, Lord, won't  you buy me a Bugatti Chiron ?

Wimp. Real men don't need all that junk. Just give me a V12, 300+hp, a six-speed gearbox, a full tank of high-octane petrol and I'm good to go............

They'll have it fixed in no time. I wonder if that pothole is still there.

George C. Scott played General George Patton (as pictured).  This topic is starting on a southerly direction.  Back on track!

Well, a rollback picked up my car and took it to the repair shop Friday morning. Hopefully, I will find out tomorrow when it might be fixed!  😉
