    I honestly cannot tell if this is amazing or the most cringe-worthy thing I have ever seen. Either way pretty rare views of a very rare car... not everyday you can see under the skin of a Veyron.

    TLDW: Veyron DIY Oil change that is pretty cool, mixed with alot of WTF are you doing... and one watch which you can most likely guess its brand considering its high end exotic car content.

    Absurd. But then it’s an absurd car.

    I once owned a vintage Mustang. It was a very simple car (289 V8). I replaced the oil once. The effort wasn't worth saving the few bucks than to have it done at the shop...

    Yeah but when you do it yourself you know it was done right!
    Shops/dealerships suck!
    Although when you are having your Bug serviced I'm sure the car gets treated better than most other cars on the road...

    Really? Do you use the same logic with watch servicing? ;)

    No, but that is because that is beyond my skill set lol.
    However I definitely would not mind giving it a shot one day...
    I would love to go to one of the classes like @Mad Dog did with his daughter.

    I enjoyed that video. Can you imagine how much margin is in there for the dealers?

    Good on them for doing it themselves, albeit could be problematic for resale.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the video of them doing donuts in it will be even more problematic for resale lol.

    The video showed the car on Pirellis. Pretty sure the only tires that are specified for a Veyron are Michelins. I do not want to know what other shortcuts have been done to that car.

    If you put aftermarket wheels on it you don't need to put the special Michelin's on it...
    No point.

    Well technically you only need those tires if your doing a max speed run over 212mph or so.

    They also have after market wheels on it so if someone curbs the tires wheels your not going to trash the originals.

    In this case I’d not think it was a shortcut.

    You do realize this is a rental car and that the OEM rims have probably already been destroyed ?

    They own it. As soon as they got it they sent it to Mansory which swapped the rims and did some other stuff. What Mansory did in the air box I have no idea. That shop serviced their exotic fleet.

    I really hope that's not a Richard Mille...... Not much of a tool watch with a $200,000+ price tag

    Looks about as good as the car in my opinion ::puke::

    *Edit* Actually @Foo2rama is probably pretty close with the Hublot.
