Default STOLEN/CRASHED 'Vette or... Airplane 'Vette

I'm not sure if this amusing, sad, or scary. Read it and you'll see what I mean.

I agree. Love that fact that the he stole a car with no brakes, but can't believe he wasted a vette in the process.

That's sad, but they must've done some mods to that vette for it to do 140, that must have been crazy since his speedo was only registering 85, and with no brakes.

"Dennis reported that this was the fourth time Reno has captured Repp after he ran from police. For the last incident, in October 2001, Repp received a five-day jail sentence and a $400 fine for reckless driving and resisting arrest."


THIS, is why the incident happened. (The dog should have eaten the scumbag.)

:mad

I'm wondering though, suppose a shyster lawyer goes after the Corvette owner for "leaving an unsafe desireable vehicle where it could be stolen?"

Thoughts???

Yeah, then the officer should release Reno on the lawyer and the idiot who stole the car. I don't think anybody should die, but should have been more injuries. He didn't get enough for his actions. Ever hear about three strikes rules. 4 times stealing should have hands cut off (with foot mentioned above) :nopity

427, me thinks thats what Hobbles meant. Damage as in finger nail marks in the headrest from being "caught up" in the moment, at one time, before the car was trashed. :yesnod: :smash:

Somebody needs some serious jail time and should be required to work to pay for the damage done to the car and all the houses. Don't let him out of jail until it's all paid off.

Who says these cars aren't safe? He took off at mach 1, totalled the car, and still could run from the police.
