Driver ‘executes’ balky automobile Floridian arrested after firing 5 rounds into hood Updated: 12:27 p.m. ET April 21, 2005 MIAMI - Fed up with his troublesome car, a Florida man fired five rounds from a semi-automatic pistol into the hood of the 1994 Chrysler LeBaron. “I’m putting my car out of its misery,” 64-year-old John McGivney said after the incident outside an apartment building in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, according to a police report that listed the car as “deceased.” McGivney surrendered to police, was jailed on a firearms charge Friday and released on bond a day later. He told officers the car had been giving him trouble for years. “I think every guy in the universe has wanted to do it,” the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Wednesday quoted McGivney as saying. “It was worth every **** minute in that jail.” Copyright 2005 Reuters Limited.

I wonder if it was wearing an orange death can at the time of it's execution? Somebody needs to get that guy to register here at BITOG so we can find out what his car's problems & possible solutions were. [Wink]
