Replica..

Saw this on the news feed and thought it was pretty interesting. I don't know if I would call this sort of thing smart or just people are dumb with their money.

Done on a 2002 Mercury Cougar

I'll never understand the desire to have a replica of a fast car built on the platform of a car that's underpowered and automatic. I know the Bugatti is automatic, but it was a 7 speed DCT vs a 4 speed fwd transaxle slushbox in the cougar.

Shoddy work. Instead of laminating the seams together until the correct shape with multiple glass or fiber layers, they filled it with bondo, or similar, which did not cure evenly and has cracked due to that or excessive vibration.

Being that my car went viral. And I have been sent the nicest texts messages ever. And uplifting. And some very weird and sickening. I wanted to say to you, when you act this way did you mom teach you that? Would you like someone to say this to your little brother or sister for their hard work? Well think of this before you sent a mean message. And for the great people that have shown support, thanks. My tires cost mower them most of these peoples cars that hit me up with the madness. Anyhow. You have all helped me. Free advertising. And to not let the haters bother. Cause now your irrelevant.

With that,Hello everybody from the West Coast (were I hear my car has made it to be a huge hit) to the East Coast, here we have my $125,000 custom build. This is a Bugatti Veyron. Which costs 90k to just build!!!! So much detail has been put into this car that can't not even be listed. The receipts reach nearly 90k. It's a beautiful car. For the Replica lovers out this. This car is for you! The best part is it's not a electrical nightmare like the Fieros. I've made them. All a headache. Yet neat. This car is more modern. And say well with the chassis with little mods to make this work..

Yes that's my Jeep. I as well custom build them. And Harley's.

So,....All badges are made Down to the internal clock. And brakes as well as calipers.

This is a 17 trophy winning replica. Done in a 2002 Mercury Cougar.
V6 stalk
AC works and all vents are done.
Suede headliner and dash in Perfect shape.
The wing retracts just like the real one.
The exhaust is throaty and strong.
Adjustable Coil overs.
Back seat is done in leather as well as front

I have it specially insured through custom car insurance Haggerty at $120,000 agreed value.

Trades are welcome.
If you can't afford this you don't even waste your time.

It has to be humiliating to get drug in a Bugatti Veyron by a sixteen year old kid in his Mom's Camry.

I love how he mentions the custom dash and yet it looks like my 6 year old put it together. And is it just me or is the emblem on the front of the grill crooked?

I'm thinking he's lucky if he sells it for $10K to an old geezer that likes to hit the sit in a parking lot all day car show circuit.

I was expecting this to be a Jalopnik "Nice Price or Crack Pipe" article for an actual Bugatti.

I think this dude also has a time share on Lake Conroe that he would unload for $20k, with some Aggie tickets thrown in.

(Denizens of the Houston board will get this...)

His only prayer of getting any money out of that thing was to drive it to the area east of Houston and having it get flooded.
