You'd be surprised. Smarter than crashing your veyron into the ocean in galveston (and leaving it running to make sure motor hydrolocks) and saying youbswerved to miss a pelican who was flying straight.for.you.

Now the guy in question, probably not, based on other factors; but.people in general, never put it past anyone.

Guy went to prison for it. I told some relatives of mine that it was insurance fraud the day it happened bc they were sitting around talking about what a shame it was. It was fraud.

He is definitely "beach rookie" if he thought that those cars were safe. Storm surge anywhere near a hurricane, on a barrier island, is almost certain. It doesn't matter if they're in Ft Knox.

There's a reason that we no longer live on the beach. Killed my E550 in less than a year.
He is no longer a rookie....

You would think, with a collection like that, he would be fully insured ?

Sad to see it looking like that, appears there is not a panel that is untouched. You can be sure the interior is trashed & stinks bad too.
If it is a 'tribute car' as some stories indicated, may not even be worth fixing.

Anyone who lives on a barrier island and a hurricane is coming knows to get anything you want to keep off the island.

It's quite obvious that you've never lived in a hurricane zone or experienced one. The guy is a moron.

They had plenty of time. I've been through a couple dozen Hurricanes starting with Andrew.

I left a car in the parking garage of an oceanfront condo that we lived in for the same exact reason. It was a lemon.

Glad someone bought it & is having it correctly restored !!

Some of the comments on the youtube page are interesting, not sure who this dude is or if what he is saying is true, but if so :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

"Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!! "
