I am just curious, how much does a veyron go for? I have seen that this car was for sale for $1.6m, this thread title says $2m and in the article is says $3.4m. That seems like quite a bit of variation, are some people quoting prices for special editions (of which there are about a million) or the new Grand Sport?

ironically enough the guy runs a business rebuilding salvaged exotic cars
In initial reports, House's name wasn't revealed (oh, the shame). But police ID'd him, and it turns out he owns a company that restores luxury cars. How handy! Celebs including Arnold Schwarzenegger have been calling him nonstop.

A) it doesn't cost $3.4 million
B) I'm sure there are more than 15 of them in the states
C) with the right amount of money, anything can be replaced
