Re: Highway Patrol officer helped slow a runaway Toyota Prius from 94 mph to a safe stop

I am still trading my ford in for a tacoma.

Ever since i had a ford ranger, my taste for ford has been downhill. Recent events in my F150 have topped the cake.

Or a Lexus...140.

Funny how he was able to stop the car once a police car got in front of him.

Which is as anecdotal as my experience. I replaced a troublesome Tacoma after I got hit by someone running a red light, with a Ranger which has had no issues at all.

It's also funny that the driver, realtor James Sikes, had declared bankruptcy, was $700,000 in debt, owed $19,000 on his Prius, and was going to be sued for $20,000 on the sale of a defective house:

Well, I agree with what you're saying. However, if you're going to insult people, which I do very often, you should at least spell incopentat correctly... incompetent.

Let's not jump to conclusions without the facts. Obama did that with Gates. Let's not repeat his mistake.

It will end up like the Duke rape case: "The narrative was right [in the Duke case for a liberal race-based victim agenda; in this case, for a liberal Government Motors agenda] but the facts were wrong."

The only mistake Obama has made so far has been getting elected.
