OT: Veyron Grand Sport Roadsters Cruising Through Chicago...
Some people are star struck by celebrities... some by political figures... for me, there's nothing like automotive art rolling down the road. I was fortunate to see not one, but two Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport roadsters actually cruising on the highway Sunday night. I know many of us have seen Veyrons at autoshows, or on showroom floors, or even on the back of transporters - but to actually see them on the road is really quite a different experience IMO. To top it all off, seing 2 of only 150 roadsters ever being produced together is pretty special.
Proving once again that when it comes to cars it only isn't Cali and Miami who get to see fireworks...

I just read that the production for the Grand Sports only started recently... and Bugatti has only received a few dozen orders... meaning that at least at this point in time, these two may be a couple of the only few Grand Sports in existence. Pretty wild.

Sweet! Saw a Veyron here in Daytona Beach during Bikeweek. Was just dying for him to bug out and stretch that thing but no, going about 30 mph the whole I time I saw it .

Saw a Veyron coupe at the Lambo dealer in downtown Chicago - only one I've seen in person. Maybe the same one who sold these?

I know who they belong to. Let's just say that the drivers were actually the salesman and his assistant delivering the duo, and the cars are a first wedding anniversary gift for a couple to each other. Kind of like the Sonny and Cher Mustangs. Any ideas who got married about 1 year ago?
