Try it yourself one time and get back to me as to who is so smart.

As for the emergency brake crowd. Take your car out to a deserted air strip. Give it WOT and maintain WOT then pull the ebrake and see if it will stop your car while in WOT.

The guy wasns't running from police, he called 911 because his car was a runaway train. He states that he tried changing gears to no effect.

You can see that even when he barrells into the emergency out of control vehicle lane, his car is barely slowed down. Have any of you ever hit one of these? Do you know how much speed you have to be carrying to simply not be dead stopped by one of these?

Let me get this straight. You think random dude, driving who WASN'T being persued by cops at first decides. Let me call 911, fake a problem with my car for 25 miles, hit a cop in the rear to finally stop, is faking it? As compared to simply something went wrong with his car.

Are we butt hurt because its a pontiac (GM) product?
Nobody said take the key out of the ignition. Everyone said to turn it OFF. Big difference and any car can be turned off while in motion just don't turn the key to the LOCK position.
