Lynchburg police then chased the vehicle. After speeds reached 105 miles-per-hour, officers broke off the pursuit. Minutes later, authorities say, the same Pontiac Vibe wrecked on Route 460 in Bedford County. The driver then used a bicycle in the back of his vehicle to ride another half-mile down the road before he was picked up. His name has not been released. If this was a member here, (removed) were you thinking?web site has a link to news coverage video, but I can't get it to load on my PC The fact that the owner had a bike in the back speaks to the utility of these vehicles, but since fleeing on bike after wrecking the car didn't work (police still caught him), I doubt GM will use the convenience of a carrying a bike to elude police in their advertising

There are two members who have Lynchburg as their City.

Not to mention the fact that he stole the $40 in gas only to turn around and use an inordinate amount of it going 105 mph running from the police...

Video doesn't work, only plays 1 sec.Thos look like aftermarket wheels... Could be a member here. It says "he" in the article.

Quote, originally posted by scherry2 »we have "she" members too.Sorry I guess I didn't make myself clear. That was two different sentences. I just meant that it could be a someone at GenVibe. And then I clarified that it must be a "he" that was in the wreck. Someone mentioned "he" or "she" so I just wanted to clarify that it must be a "he" that wrecked the Vibe since they specified that in the article. I'm still confused, are you

Looks like the Vibe holds up pretty well in a 100mph+ crash

lol thats sad. if he couldn't afford the gas he shoulda used that bike he had inside in the beginning.

Whatta maroon... Hey dude, sell those wheels next time you need money. That's good for at least a couple months worth of petrol, dude!

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush »I doubt he was going 100+ when he crashed. There would be a lot more damage.Well he was in the freeway or whatever, so he was probally still going pretty fast.

Either of them list a monotone Frosty?Quote, originally posted by Sputnik »There are two members who have Lynchburg as their City.

If I worked at at gas station, I'd make everyone that doen't use pay at the pump to pay first. it's a pain, but you won't have drive aways like this dumbazz. Instead of $40 in gas, he has to fix the car, prolly get a ticket and record for evasion and maybe even theft. not too bright.

I just thought of something... Perhaps someone had their Vibe stolen? If someone would actually do that much damage to their car, their finances, their criminal record over 40 stinkin' bucks, ugh... Let me just say, I hope that Vibe was stolen and it wasn't the owner that did all that crap.Was that a GT? I filled my base up for $36 yesterday.

DUMB-(removed)-------------and that is puttimg it mildly.

I can't even fit $40 of gas in my Vibe. At $3.00 a gallon that comes out to 13.33 gallons... aledgedly our Vibes only have a 13 gallon tank, but even at that I've never been able to put in more than 12 gallons before the pump auto-shuts off. He musta been coasting on fumes before the fill up if he was able to put in $40 worth of gas. He obviously didn't heed the evil yellow low fuel light in a timely manner, and drove around with it taunting him for quite some time... that must have driven him insane, hence, resulting in his erratic behavior....or...,maybe he's just an (removed)!

Maybe every memeber here can go down to the jail and take turns smaking him around.

(removed), I can totally see that member as being the type who would do the above act. heh!He just wanted to come on board to trash me and then leave. dam cry babies!

Thats actually every state I beleive. Atleast every state I'v been through has had it on the pump.

I'm pretty sure that guy now realizes that it would have been worth it to pay the $40 for gas than the hundreds or even thousands it's going to cost to fix his car!

wow, i saw that. I told my friend to look at that waste of a perfect automobile. Now I know what it was all about. what a dumbass. I live in martinsville and work at Ft. Pickett. My frind lives in lynchburg. wow. wonder if it was base or GT

Those are some pretty sweet rims!
