Bugatti has been using a similar grill design since the 20s and 30s. It's a Bugatti trademark much the same way the "kidneys" in the grill are a trademark of BMW. Here are pictures of a 1920s, 1930s, 1950s and 1990s-era Bugattis respectively:

Since you mentioned Cadillacs...
(Some people do enjoy looking at photos of classic Cadillacs, shocking as it may seem.)
Fine, so start your own Cadillac Lovers thread instead of co-opting everyone else's threads.

Since when did you become the moderator and tell others how and what to post?
Actually, that is a good idea. I just may start a Cadillac thread!
I notice you will use every opportunity to post a lot of photos of Bugattis.

He's right. Its getting ridiculous. Every other thread on the automotive forum is clogged with your pics of Caddies and muscle cars, and its quite annoying. There could be a thread about school buses and you'd find a way to post your pics of your Caddy, etc.


Back on topic, the Veyron is honkingly fast. I believe it rips 0-186 mph in 14 seconds, which is when most vehicles on the road are hitting about 80 mph or so. That kind of power is intoxicating to say the least. The price tag is ridiculous and there are several other cars Id rather drive, but if youre looking for exclusivity and mind-numbing acceleration, the Veyron is king. For now.

Since I got tired of seeing you steer the thread toward a discussion of Cadillacs and/or muscle cars and post pictures of the same cars over and over no matter how tenuously connected to the actual topic of the thread.

This is the first time I've posted photos of Bugattis and I did it because it was actually relevant to the thread topic.

Relax. I posted one photo of a '69 Dodge Charger Daytona in this thread.

When I post photos of my cars, it is usually in threads asking about cars members own or dream cars.

So, again, relax.

It's only "annoying" to you because you lack the good taste to like muscle cars and classic Cadillacs.

I dont care if you post pics on a related thread, but posting pics of a buffugly Charger on a thread about a Bugatti is just wrong.

If youre gonna post pics of that Charger, do it on a site pertaining to dinosaur cars or geriatric racing teams or something.

And you can relax, too. As I posted above, the posting of my cars is almost always related to the thread ("What cars do you own," What is your dream car," etc)

And I posted that photo of the '69 Charger Daytona because it was relevant to the thread, too. (I would rather own that than the Bugatti). Big deal!
