Okay,at least he didn’t go thru a 7-11 window!

How do you get 5 months behind on your car payment and get repoed?

[Mr. K]

I have 4 PM tuesday march 15, 2010 on the over/under for this to be declared a hoax

[WOBBLY BOB]

Shoulda tried the old Wendy’s Chilli finger.

[a fool in paradise]

CHP says the officer smelled smoke and believes it to be genuine. If it was an NBC journalist, we’d have to go back to the tape of the “exploding gastanks” to make a ruling...

This guy is probably also a Democrat and a Union supporter that is piling on. The Rat’s smell blood and they are going for it.

[devistate one four]

He really didn’t like the status symbol he was driving, and it sure is odd all these cars are failing.

[Sloth]

Next week, I expect him to accidentally send his kid into the sky aboard a home-built helium balloon.

[Red in Blue PA]

That was my exact thought too.

[Deb]

I’ll take the under.

[WOBBLY BOB]

why did he not put it in neutral when the cop was yelling on his PA to do so?

[Right Wing Assault]

Looks like a wheeler-dealer.

[Rapunzel]

Has anyone else noticed that these Toyota malfunctioning cars only began AFTER the recalls began.

[The Comedian]

Next week, I expect him to accidentally send his kid into the sky aboard a home-built helium balloon.

You just set the bar for the Post-of-the-Thread Award.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Hey driving 35 miles at high speed, calling 911 on his cell while driving and in all that time he can’t manage to reach down and put the car in neutral? I’m mean, please maybe the dumb ass tree huggers who buy these things believe his story but I doubt anyone else does.

"That was my exact thought too."
