They do put the month first so it was fairly recent, why the crusher ? You'd have to do it at least once wouldn't you just to try it out

funny that they describe ' not more than $500' as a hefty fine, IMHO thats a total joke of a fine. I got more than that for 105, with a ban to boot.

Just under the ticket he's described as a "social media mogul"

I also love the fact that at the top of the ticket, it's described as a "misdemeanor"!

Looks like bull***t to me.

He's launching a website next month, there's hardly any mention of him online, and what there is says stuff like "Philip Odegard, scion of the Odegard Media “empire,”. I've searched and if there is an "empire" I doubt it can buy him a Veyron
It doesn't seem like he has the money/clout to own a Veyron at the ripe old age of 22. The only record of a speeding ticket for him (on the police website) is for a different date and car.

Even in the US punishment for doing over 100mph is pretty harsh, a 22 year old doing 210+mph in a 65 is gonna be in big trouble I reckon.

Smells like viral marketing to me ...

That's my excuse, what's the point in them making a car that does 247mph when I don't take it over 60?
