    "Police concerned suspect may have been under the influence"... reeeeeaaaaaaalllly... what was the tip off?


    High speed pursuit, that's just normal crazy. Donuts on the median, narrows it down a bit. Stopping in the middle of a high speed pursuit to antagonize your pursuers while leaving the car in gear... well, my friend, that is a special brand of crazy I hadn't seen before.

    I'm really impressed at how nimble the little xB was, and MSN would have you believe that the tC is the most dangerous car on the road.


    By the way the tC is the third quickest car for under 20 grand.

    @wookie1901: There's no way the tC is more dangerous than the Lexus ES.

    At least they didn't have to worry about her making a high-speed getaway.

    @Comrade ☠Grяrяrяrяrяrяrя reporting for duty!: it need not be a high-speed getaway anymore. a few months ago a woman from lancaster evaded police in a u-hal renal van. she had driven some 150 miles at around 45mph the whole time.


    only to stop due to a non-spike strip tire blowout

    Pretty respectable chase duration for a crazy woman in a 100hp econobox. Put me in a WRX and I could go for days.

    I hope Scion latches onto this when they roll oout the advertising for the new trailer package. I can see it now:

    "How many Crown Vics do you think the new Scion Xb can pull? Well, now it's a whole lot more!"

    Supposedly, the xB is limited by drag to something like 108mph. The speed goes (optimistically) up to 120.

    Dang you, Ben. I was going to send you the scoop on this, but you had to go to the Huffington Post for this? I know it's for good journalism, but no man should ever tread those waters.

    @sos10:


    sos10, sos10, sos10. You have no idea what you're talking about. You're glib.


    I know what Sciontology is really about. A Sciontologist is a person who sees the world for what it truly is: a socialist conspiracy to rob us of our freedom and cast us into the inferno of cookie-cutter vehicles with cheesy tack on.


    What that you say? Those are Saturns I'm talking about?


    Ooops. Never mind.

    "Toyota Scion" *snort*


    Slightly more respect for the xB though, since apparently it has a tight turning radius, can carry screaming drug addicts AND run over highway medians... very useful. She gave the cops fits.


    I'll be looking for these features in my next car purchase

    @NewbiusMaximus: She bought the Toyota Scion after her Honda Acura died. It was between the Toyota Scion, and a Ford Mercury, because the Nissan Infiniti was out of her price range.
