Don't hate on that chick, she was just pumped up for the new fast and furious.
Was it me or did the cops have a hell of a time PITing the box. Seemed like it wasnt long enough to really spin out of control.

Another chopper view. (How the heck many choppers were in the air following this???)
Funny how neither talking head even knew what kind of car it was.
Go! Go!
(Every time I see one of these video clip I think the lady's out of her mind, she's endangering others, she shouldn't be doing this, but at the same time I keep rooting for the tough little box.)

Drop-off kids at school -- check
Shop for groceries -- check
High speed chase with police -- check
Just goes to show how truly versatile an XB can be.

What she SHOULD have done is dropped into an alley behind an appliance store and hidden her box among the rest of them.
blend in

Hello folks rubens wife here I was checking out the posts about the xb and I found this...

I know her and she just lost her life partner to cancer a month ago. She was already bi polar and the death of her 17 year partner pushed her over the edge of pschosis. All of her friends had been trying to get her to check in a mental hospital but were unable to do it. Her family should have done something before it came to this. I am just glad she didnt hurt anyone including herself

One I watched
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1yfoXCOn_c
"Looks to me like, I dunno maybe some new fangled van or SUV thats a little bit of a boxy shape."
WTF mate, who hasnt seen an xB. Its been out for years for God's sake.
All I have to say is that now us Box owners will get a little more respect now they know what our cars can do.

Another view. Shows the patrol car trying to match the tight turns of the xB in the dirt and failing...

Normally, I despise people who run from the lawy like that, but I was rooting for my box. haha. I saw that the xB easily out manuvered the cops, but at the conclusion I would have loved to see her smoke the tires trying to push them out of the way (just to see if the box can.). That had to be my first chase video that I actually enjoyed (even the outcome!).

I was totally rooting for the xB, by the way. Glad it ended without any casualties (other than the box). Looked like there were two stickers on the rear window, but I couldn't tell what they were.

saw a brief video of it yesterday when I was at the chow hall, AFN quickly turned it off. I hope she is able to get the help she needs and lolz at the cop cars try to match the turning radius. the XB did really well though, although she endangered a lot of folks lives with stunts like that.
