Guys,

I'm considering buying one of the following cars. I need some sincere advice from you guys. It's my dream car...

(1) Bugati Veyron
(2) SSC Ultimate Aero TT

Well, what do you guys say?

Wait, you're saying one of those two is your dream car, but you need us to tell you which?

In that case, I'd say take the first one. I've never heard of either, but "SSC Ultimate Aero TT" is by far the sillier of the two names. It's like it's trying way too hard to sound cool, which makes me suspicious of what it's trying to hide. We had a commercial for jelly here with the slogan, "With a name like Smuckers, it's got to be good." The idea was that if a product was popular despite an ugly name, you knew it had to have quality going for it. A corollary would be, "With a name like SSC Ultimate Aero TT Superduper Awesome Babe Magnet", it's got to be a piece of sh... junk."

According to the all-powerful Internets, the Bugatti (which is actually a Volkswagon; the actual Bugatti company hasn't existed for many decades) has sold a total of ~200 units, gets 13mpg on the highway, and lists for $ 1.7 million dollars (about 800 crore, I think). So basically I think he's asking us whether he should sleep with Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie.

And the answer is yes to both as long as your wife doesn't complain.
