I read some of the maintenance costs. It adds up to about $300,000 annual operating expense not including fuel. Definitely a car for the elite upper tier!

Bugatti tech's have to disassemble the car and most of the engine as there is no drain plug... but they do inspect the internals to tolerance so if your bill is only the $21K - the car is a keeper.

Tom Brady and Danica Patrick are two of the upper class to own them. Beautiful car but to rich for my blood. Between the boat and that car I would need a tanker load of fuel every week.

An F-14A Tomcat with full internal fuel, 16000 lb, will be out of fuel in 8 minutes at wide open throttle... zone 5 afterburner.

I'm guessing you would overtemp the engines before you ran out of fuel but you'd also be going twice the speed of sound
