Justin Bieber gets a Bugatti Veyron as a gift, world keeps spinning

Stop right there. Just stop. Don't go pretending that, if suddenly presented with the surprise gift of a $1.9 million, 1,000-hp Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, you would somehow suffer a spasm of social consciousness and swap the keys for a Nissan Versa instead. We all know that after the hyperventilation and shock wore off, the first stop would be a social media outlet with a photo and some gratitude — just like Justin Bieber did today with his new Veyron.

Bieber presented the car to his Instagram followers today with the note: "Uncle Stunna luv. My first Bugatti #generosity." For those not skilled in Bieber-speak, "Uncle Stunna luv" refers to Bieber's producer Birdman, himself a known aficionado of the Bugatti Veyron, and with whom Bieber has been working in recent weeks on new music.

The 20-year-old singer has been known as much for his exploits behind the wheel in recent years – from the January DUI arrest in Miami while driving a rented Lamborghini to driving without a license and generally doing the things that make people dislike 20-year-old pop stars. His personal garage has included three Ferraris and a Fisker Karma, which a compatriot wrecked.
