Buggati Veyron Supercar Teaches Owner A Lesson January 24, 2008

You know how it is when you get a new car: proud owner, over-revving the engine at the lights, Boots budget sunglasses on, elbow out the window looking cool, nodding to the ladies, lights change, CHUNK, you stall it, panic, horns blaring, blushing with embarrassment, and, generally feeling like a complete pillock.
And that’s just in your new Renault Clio.
Imagine those same feelings – magnified a thousand-fold. That’s probably what the driver of this £1m Bugatti Veyron felt this week after he ran out of petrol on a US street and had to get a mob of laughing passers-by to push him to a garage. And on video too. The shame.
Funny as hell though.-Martin Lynch

eh? All that video shows is a group of guys pushing the car. It doesn't show anyone stalling it at all. It doesn't even put it in context... hell it might have been unloaded from a trailer and pushed into a display section or something...
You lot suck at facts.
haha, it's a good job he wasn't in compton or anything. Would have been even funnier if some one jacked him at the lights.
the person who written the first comment obviously suck at reading, cos the article clearly states the bit about stalling is in a renault clio which is giving u a idea of how embarrassing it is. the second part talks about the veyron running out of fuel!!!!!!! whether the car actually ran out of fuel is another question.
The original video is off-line - it's reappeared at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMMHbYaBAWk
well,
I'd rather go through this little bit of embarassment and have the veyron and people filming are sssso jealous...
