Do not attempt to adjust your screens, your computer isn’t lagging. This has to be one of the slowest police chases we’ve ever seen.
Huston resident David Wheaton failed to stop at a traffic light in the city’s west end. A state trooper police car immediately chased after him. But while the action might seem ‘hot’ while filmed from a helicopter, the fact that traffic is passing them by means they are actually going pretty slowly.

The reason? Our daredevil motorist is driving one of the slowest cars on the road, a smart fortwo with a convertible top. Despite the fact that he could not get away from the police, Wheaton led the patrolman all the way to his home where he surrendered in his driveway.

After blood tests were carried out, 26-year old Wheaton was charged with DWI and evading arrest. Guess cars don’t say that much about their owners.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
