Short answer: Yes.
and why silver? yuck!

Silver and white are my two last choices in car colors save for a very few exceptions.
Would it be wrong to wrap a Veyron?

Silver is better than white. I laugh when I see white Ferarri's down here.

Might be required. Dress for each holiday

First time seeing a Veyron in the wild! Will one of these break the budget @Patrick ?View attachment 156225View attachment 156226View attachment 156227

I do not understand the allure of this vehicle. I mean, I like nice toys as much as the next guy, but I'd rather have:

a 911 GT3, a custom Air Cooled Singer 911, a Jaguar or two for dress up days, AMG 63 wagon for errands, Range Rover for casual Fridays and a half million dollar Garage to keep them in.

When they first came out, it was the first car to have 1000 hp. Now that's no big deal!

PS we saw one along with several other super cars at a restaurant in Red Bank a few years ago

i'm sure most of the people who own Veyrons could have all of those too. There was a car show on main street in Red Bank about 10 years ago that included 4 or 5 Ferraris owned by one guy, who also owns a Veyron. IIRC, he brought (trailered) an FXX in, because why not?

They don't even float.

Subaru mini truck in the wild in Glassboro

No, not in person. Plenty of 4-series coupes but not the M3/M4 yet.

I saw both a G80 Brooklyn Grey and a G82 Tanzanite Blue a few weeks ago when I went for an oil change and diff fluid change. The front end is 🤮, just like in the pics. Shame really since the interiors are very nice. They were both 6MT, so that’s a plus, but there’s no more manual rev matching option and they’ve done away with a real honest to goodness handbrake 🙁. I plan to hold onto my F83 6MT for a long while.

I remember going to that show. First I saw the Enzo, then I saw the FXX and my jaw hit the ground. I got some good pictures that day. I’ll put some on here when I get to my computer.

The Veyron is just an engineering marvel W16 engine with like 4 turbos producing 1000 hp made to go fast. I love the video of Captain Slow taking it to top speed.

They still know how to make a motor, though.

Wow they actually made that grille? I thought that was just an internet meme.... Holy christ that is hideous

Hard to believe anyone signed off on that thing. But the M5 and M8 look great. If I was leaning BMW for the next car it'd be the M8

About noon today on RT 24 westbound between Madison and the Morristown airport spied a gaggle of exotics together:
White Countach
Two GT3’s Blue and White
Orange McLaren
Yellow Gallardo
Grey Aston
There were others in the squadron, but I was heading eastbound and they were flying so no pics and couldn’t count them all.

Cars and Coffee at Performance Garage Club in Frenchtown. I had to work so got there just as it was ending.
