I won’t be surprised if it is, as we are talking about Bugatti Veyron here. Up for sale on Craigslist is a 2006 Bugatti Veyron, which has gone just 874 miles. The superfast car is listed on the Los Angeles CL site and is located upstate in Benicia, just north of San Francisco. With a stunning blue exterior and Bardo interiors, the car with 1001 horsepower can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds and go past the 200 mph mark in a mere 24 seconds. While a new Veyron goes for around .4 million, it’s interesting to see that this 2006 Bugatti Veyron is listed with an asking price of .3 million. It looks like credit crunch hasn’t hit everyone. The name Bugatti exudes exclusivity, luxury, elegance and amazing design, and this listing on Craigslist is no exception.

Turn-of-the-20th-century Finnish composer Jean Sibelius is said to have seen music in shapes and colors. This may explain why, when he needed inspiration, Sibelius retired to the Hotel Kämp in Helsinki, Finland.

Though it dates to 1861, Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne, Switzerland, is by no means fusty and old-fashioned. A recently completed million refurbishment—which spanned 12 years—has kept this Belle Epoque gem on the banks of Lake Geneva looking shiny and new.

The British monarch who ruled the largest empire in history would no doubt be pleased by the new 2 million ocean liner that the fabled Cunard Line recently christened after her. By any standard, Queen Victoria, known simply as “the QV,” is an imposing vessel.
