Mustang hits 150 m.p.h. on Colorado interstate; cops give up chase

[Nish Nishant]

The funny (or perhaps sad) bit is that the article author decided to make it a sort of advertisement for the Mustang.

Is it time to consider arming the police with [these](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder-fired\_missile)?

Obviously the solution is to follow the lead of the police in Dubai! They had to purchase super/hyper cars to keep up with the rich kids driving them over there (source[^]).

Taxpayer: oh happy happy joy joy :)

I don't believe they have federal tax on income in the UAE. Their government is rich enough to not need taxes. :omg:

Correct, but I meant the "follow the lead" part, thus my remark was aimed at those poor empoverished US citizens ... if you follow my lead ... :-\

Ah alright, yeah, all good then. :thumbsup:

As long as the "average" citizen can also be so armed!

I hope they got the plate number. If they are smart, they look up the owner and wait for him at his home, then impound the car. With a speed of 150 mph, they should be able to make a felony case for reckless endangerment.

Yeah, I'll bet he hit 150 going downhill and yours could do it uphill, right?

Getting the cops faster cars is just asking for trouble. The solution is much simpler, given that no car can outrun a radio. Decades ago police gave chase to a speeding idiot inside city limits where I live. And by city, I mean a small town of less than 10,000 at the time--this didn't take place on a 4-lane highway, but main street. It ended with a dead pedestrian--incidentally the mayor's nephew. It didn't take long before the rulebook on police pursuits were changed in Ontario.

Clearly a DeLorean can. ;P
