Want a Bugatti Veyron, but don't have 1.3 million on hand? Not to worry. Putnam leasing is offering the supercar for a mere $23,595 per month, plus taxes.That bargain monthly price requires a $400,000 down payment.

Heck, this Saleen S7 is only $580K and looks pretty damned HOT!

Think they'll rent it to me for just one day and waive the $400,000 down payment

I'd pay $800 to thrash(I mean drive)one of those cars for a day



I'd bet they limit your milage to about 100 miles a day though

Probably less than that. I remember reading somewhere that the Veyron at top speed, will run out of fuel in 12 minutes! From Automobile Magzine as a matter of fact. Oh, BTW, the stereo alone is $30,000!

Rich, did you see the magazine article about this. They drove the car all through the panhandle. Specifically Vernon and Monticello and a few other places. Here it is. 5 page article.
http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews...ron/index.html

An excerpt on the locations.

I never thought I'd see Vernon, Florida.

On a map, it looks like all roads in Washington County lead to Vernon, not so surprising, given that there are only eleven towns in the county. It's warm, 80 degrees, and spring-flowering dogwood, redbud, and azaleas brighten both sides of the road as we head west through a flat, sandy landscape dotted with pine forests and lush farm fields. There is no traffic at 3:30 in the afternoon as we roll up to the Vernon town square and turn left on Highway 277, away from the sagging Dixie Dandy store.

Our big, scenic payoff is the stretch of U.S. 98 east of Panama City running around the handgrip of the Panhandle (known as the Redneck Riviera) from Panama City to Apalachicola. There are long stretches of white-sand beach and clusters of pastel beach cottages in Mexico Beach, followed by the steamy town of Port St. Joe and its State Buffer Preserves that give this stretch a wilder coastline. Just out of Port St. Joe, we find Highway 30A, a narrow two-lane too ragged for huge speed, lined by marsh, tall pines, and palmettos.

I remember reading somewhere that the Veyron at top speed, will run out of fuel in 12 minutes!

For some reason I just think thats awsome!

but how long do you think a vette could go at top speed?


I got to see an SLR MaLaren about 2-3 weeks ago in traffic. He was right beside me and I must say that was one BUEATIFUL car.
