Cars you could buy... for the Price of a Veyron's Tires.

When engineers at VW were testing the top speed of the Veyron Vitesse they had to use a special tire that could handle speeds of up to 250 mph. These special tires cost around 42,000 dollars. 42,000! For 4 hunks of rubber. The rims cost 69k.

And this got me thinking. What Jalop cars could you buy for the price of a Veyron's tires?

So, below I came up with a list of rides I thought were pretty Jalop for around 42k pre tax, pre-everything. Literally what you pay that is listed on the company's website.

All cars are base model, unless stated.

That. Is a good damned deal. There is an old man with a 2004 yellow Elise and all the enthusiast here are just waiting until he wants to sell it. He owns a comic book shop, no clue how he can afford it.
