In an experience that we can only describe as “Matt’s Wet Dream,” I ride along with a Bugatti test driver in the Bugatti Veyron, a car that can go up to 249 mph and accelerates from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds.

It is the most amazing car I’ve ever ridden in. The acceleration is completely unexpected – first gear was like going down a huge roller coaster. All the force of that acceleration was a punch in my ample gut and I literally felt like I would have flown out of car if I hadn’t been strapped down. As Ferris said, “If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.”

Here’s a version for folks who don’t want the music:
