Default I must be seeing things...

Driving down 6th avenue i get passed by what appeared to be a bugatti veyron. It had the bugatti badge and the bugatti spoiler with like kind of hydraulic pumps to lift it up and it had the same four round taillights and the center square exhaust.

That's not even teh crazy part of the story...

driving down alameda 10 minutes later.... a ferrari enzo.

Apparently whoever owned the enzo had been driving it up and down alameda all day and tons of my frriends saw it because we had this fair thing at our school.

BUt my friend refuses to believe that i saw a bugatti too and insists that i saw the enzo twice or something because he claims there are no bugatti's ont he road in the US.

The only thing i can think of is if maybe it was like a very elaborate bugatti body kit or soemthing, i've seen cars that sound like honda's but look exactly like f430's before.... but this thing sounded amazing.... more like a lambo with a bugatti body kit..

so are there actaully any bugatti's on the roads in the us or am i just going insane?

NOt a lotus, it was way too big and the engine sounded way too big to be a little lotus.

It's not the one from the avs game but it's good to know there was one there so i have proof there are bugatti's in the us. Although it's not too likely theres more than one in the same state... especially colorado.

Bugatti did the high-altitude testing for the Veyron here a few months ago. A quick search in this forum (or an Audiworld.com) will turn up some sightings of that.

We had a get together some months back at Park Meadows, on the way there I told everone that I had seen the Veyron as well. I KNOW it was the Veyron. There is a black Enzo at a tiny health club by my house every Saturday and Most Sundays. I used to be me (or my wife and I ) would zoom in there and take picture and drool, we see it so much we just past by now and say" the Enzo's there again" zzzzzzzzzzzz

There is a Veyron that lives in the Lakewood area. I've seen it at several race events in the area. The last time was at Miller Motorsports in Utah. It was a display vehicle and did some parade laps between races. It was also at the Denver auto show last year. I've been told it is here for high altitude testing. Don't really know but I have seen it more than once.

You did see the Bugatti, there is one here. That same gentle man who owns that car also has 2 Enzo's, one black and one red one. He lives up off of 285 in Evergreen, not too far from Kevin's house.

This same guy has a fleet of many other exotics, I personally have seen the Enzo, Bugatti, Saleen S7, a few Ferraris and a few Lambo's that he owns. There are many others, basically if you name it this guy probably has it.

I have a friend who has done some work at his house up in Turkey Creek Canyon.

That black Enzo is a fairly common sight around town. It often runs up and down I-25 on weekends.

That looks like the work of the Incredible Hulk.

Oh, and I think an insurance adjuster just had a heart attack in Arkansas.

Well, not to get smacked for actually delivering a serious answer, but in Arkansas, my guess is tornado.
