I remember when a guy in a new E90 330i was outrunning the police in houston for several hours. The chase was all over the news.

The local Houston BMW dealer then got calls within the hour to setup 15 test drives. lol

So a chase scene is positive unintentional marketing I guess.

I love it! Nice video.

So, this dude later got a ticket for speeding and the dude in San Diego got a slapping for lying his *** off.

Some background information on the Prius driver. Bankrupt in 2008. $700,000 in debt. 5 months behind on his Prius payments. Starting to smell like Balloon Boy in here...

man this just gets better and better. I wonder what will ultimately happen to toyota's reputation after all this. Guess Honda will be happy with all the new customers they are getting.
