Default Veyron Article

Wow.

I can hardly believe how fast this thing is - I mean 0-200km/hr in 7.3 seconds.

Good read too:

That is a sweet ride, but unfortunately only reserved for the very richest in the world. $8,000CAD for EACH rear tire!

I know - I think that was the 3rd part of the article that made me laugh unexpectedly.

Picked up some great information in the article. For instance, I had no idea that Canadian milk comes in bags.

The coolest part of this car is the fact that you need a "special second key" in order to transform the car so that it can hit the 250mph top speed. This car is just insane.

Actually it seems as though bagged milk is an Ontario thing and possibly a Quebec thing only. A lot of the other provinces use the 4L jugs
