MEDFORD, Ore. — A 75-year-old woman was arrested early Saturday morning after leading police on a high-speed chase on Interstate 5 from Merlin to Ashland.
Josephine County Sheriff's Office deputies clocked the car traveling at 112 mph on the interstate near Merlin just before midnight Friday. The driver failed to stop when deputies sounded their sirens, and when the woman passed into Jackson County, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office took over the chase.
During the pursuit, police spiked the woman's tires at least seven times, but she kept going, according to a post on the JCSO Facebook page. The woman drove without tires from Central Point to exit 14 in Ashland. At that point, police used a Pursuit Intervention Technique to stop the vehicle.

Usually out there Prius’ are in the fast lane doing 5mph under the speed limit.
I’ll have to admit I was surprised the only links I could find for an LS Prius conversion were for a half-complete car.
This guy seems to have actually done one with a Hellcat SRT8.

She shot the gap at Cumberland and screamed by Maynardville...
“But parked in a rickety old garage
Is a brand new shiny red super stock Dodge...”
Some of the best lyrics ever.
My contender:

A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.”
