Looks like Florida.
 EDIT: NVM, Texas. Sucks for the owner, but it looks like he was on the phone while driving anyway...shouldn't be done in any car, much less one that costs a mil.

but its not to bad. pay a shop to fully disassemble the car and wash it with water. Its carbon fiber body doesn't rust like steal unframes. |

They really need to create super license requirement for exotic cars. Rigorous course to teach people how to control 500+whp cars like labo's enzo's etc etc.

Agreed, Yarik. If you have a car with over a certain horespower rating, you should have a special license.
I don't think he hydrolocked the motor. The article said the car ran for about 15 minutes, and I didn't read whether or not she shut it off or it died. It looks like the intake was above the water level though. Imagine that insurance claim... "Yeah, um, hi... I just drove my Veyron off the road and into some water, so... if I could get a check for that, that'd be great..." -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

That's an intentional waste of a Veyron. Words cannot express what that guy deserves.
