Probably because Mommy and Daddy were stupid enough to give it to him. Besides, how many people have ever out ran the cop chasing them? The M3 is fast, but even a skilled driver can't out run that radio.
:stupid:

And that's my favorite M3 - body, color & wheels. I need to find this idiot & kick him in the nuts really hard. Three times. :evil:

That's funny - I was outside at 11:30 and heard the sirens go down 55, then west on Green Level.

Now a serious question - I want to buy that wrecked car. Seriously. Anyone know how I could get my hands on it? Scan the paper for the police log of the person's name and call them? Get a police report?

Any ideas?

Not just thinking ... shopping for one. I'm just in no hurry.

But if I could get that car for less than $5k, I'd do it. My neighbors would hate me, but screw 'em.

The only concern is if the engine was still running while upside dow.

Bikes are a whole different ball game. Never seen a HP Crown Vic that could catch one. The story goes to prove that the actual chase is as dangerous or more so than the crime being chased for. Think about it, if I were chasing you at 100 MPH, then I decided to quit, wouldn't you slow down after I stopped chasing?

I am 1 and 1. But that was back in my indestructable teenage years when I "knew" I couldn't die (15+ years ago). But the one time I was caught (and that fact that I was very lucky the one time I got away) was enough to convince me it is stupid to run. I am a different man today.
