Agree 100%, I should not post on FR because I am narrow minded. Thank you for letting me know.
There was a group of about fifteen of us at my workplace standing and watching the last thirty minutes of the chase on CNN Headline News. Most of the other folks were from India. I can only imagine what they think about us Americans after seeing that!
I think Chevy is going to want to use some of that footage in their next ad campaign. :) That pickup truck took a hell of a pounding--50+ mph across fields, golf courses, railroad tracks, 90+ mph down the freeways, and still kept going until the police got the spike-strips out.
I can't believe CNNHN dropped their normal coverage to show that chase, though. And whoever that anchorette was...ugh. Total dummy. Her two best lines that I remember:
"It's no wonder the police can't catch up to that truck, it probably has a very powerful engine in it. It's one of those extended-cab models."
And, after the guy had landed in the creek and he had about fifty cops surrounding him with guns drawn: "So, what happens now?" Durrrrrrr.
