Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

There’s almost nothing better in life than shifting gears as you drive down a tight canyon road or make your way through the turns on a racetrack. The feeling of working the clutch and shifter as the engine reaches the redline in every gear is intoxicating, especially if you happen to be driving a fun sports car or sedan. Unfortunately, the manual transmission seems to be going the way of the dodo bird, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes extinct in the next decade.
