I don't know cars. Don't have one. Don't need one. So I don't pay attention.
So I was a little confused when I walked past Selfridges department store in London to find a crowd standing on the corner gawking at a car and snapping pictures with whatever camera they had handy - camera phone, point and shoot, DSLR. People were talking about it, to it, calling friends and family to tell them what they were staring at, and texting emailing photos to share with those not lucky enough to be there. A few even professed that they would stay until the owner emerged, just so they could see who had pulled up in it.

It was a damn hot vehicle, so I joined in, and snapped the pics below. Later after a quick Google search I found out what all the fuss was about.

The Bugatti Veyron is apparently the most expensive friggin' car on the planet with a price tag of about $1.7 Million!!....For a car! It can also go from 0-6 in about 2.6 seconds, and can get up to 253 MPH+

So my question is - What the hell was a $1.7 million  car doing parked on the street in one of the city's busiest shopping areas? If you can drop a mil seven on a CAR, shouldn't you be able to afford a parking garage, or a driver? Hell, I would at the very least pay a cousin or a pa just to hang out in the damn thing while I was getting my shop on.
