Mustang hits 150 m.p.h. on Colorado interstate; cops give up chase
-
My only experience with weapons is using an M-1 carbine on a firing range (in the civil guard in Israel). Even there, my score was terrible. :(
Ad astra - both ways!
It may have been some time since I last practiced with such a weapon, but believe me, hitting a fast car would be a stroke of luck.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Not at all. Granted the window of opportunity would be open for much less time, but a skilled marksman could easily hit anything that big. Hitting the driver himself would be harder, but still possible.

You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013 -

The solution is much simpler, given that no car can outrun a radio.
Clearly a DeLorean can. ;P

In the Netherlands there’s a website http://bestwelsnel.nl/ with measured speeds on the road. “uitleg” = help. Its Dutch but I am sure you can find a translator. Measurements are done by “inductions loops” in the asphalt, 24000 of them throughout the country. Green = bevestigd = confirmed (within 1 minute, within 5km, a second measurement > 170kmh) Gray = onbevestigd = unconfirmed Red = maximum (as of 2013-12-31) or dagmax (maximum of the day) The Netherlands is not that big, if you watch this website, it looks like a formula 1 circuit. Take a look and see for yourself how much idiots we have over here

Before anyone suggests that it was my car, keep in mind that a) I live in Texas, b) my car is white, and c) my car is much faster.
