    • ]]>     The dream car for me has always been a Corvette, but when I visited New York last summer I spotted a Dodge Charger, which came to be another dream car of mine. Last week I found one Charger for sale which looked very nice and had a nice pricetag to it. I looked over my finances and decided to take it for a test drive on Sunday and then sleep on it and come to a decision.

    Yesterday I decided to go for it so I called and let them know I wanted it. Today I picked it up and drove it home, feels damn good. It’s a very nice car, for a good price. The color is a very nice deep water blue pearl and it has huge 22″ chrome wheels. Chrome wheels is not particuraly my taste, I would prefer black, but they do have a nice design anyway. The engine is a 5.7l V8 hemi producing 345 hp, but it’s pretty quite actually, until you floor it ofcourse. It’s very nice to drive, but takes a while to get used to those big and wide tyres on the road. It’s very roomy and comfortable inside, feels very luxurious. Vromm, vromm!! :)

Appearently this was not good enough for the man who runs amok and drives the red loan car through the glass walls into the store, ramming several other cars. Then he gets out and steals a van and rams it into the garage door several times until it finally breaks. Finally, he steals a BMW and flees the scene, but with police already alerted he’s soon pulled over and driven to the psychiatric clinic. The estimated damage is about 65,000 euros.

    Talk about bad temper… this dude needs some anger management. I can recommend lego bits of you need to break stuff, together with some nicely composed cussing it should be enough for anyone.
