Police chase bimmer, woman rams police with bimmer!?!?!

[Kirby]

Why intentionally wreck a perfectly good bimmer?

SACRAMENTO (AP) - A Sacramento woman was arrested after fleeing from a California Highway Patrol commander and then ramming his cruiser with her BMW, officials said.

CHP Officer Max Hartley said the black BMW sped past CHP Capt. Chuck Chellew Thursday afternoon going about 85 mph. Chellew, who is the commander of the north Sacramento CHP office, pulled the car over at an exit, Hartley said.

But as Chellew stepped out of his car, the BMW sped off, running a red light. Chellew chased the car at speeds that reached 110 mph before the driver pulled into a parking lot - where she allegedly rammed her car into the cruiser, Hartley said.

The driver, Gina Joanne Smith, was arrested on numerous charges, he said.

Few women know what they really have when they own a BMW. THey just see an expensive (relatively) car.

Edit: Too bad it wasn't a Porsche.

I would say this is the case for most people, not just limited to women.

thank you Mr. E...................

I would also agree. Almost everyone I've ever met that has a Bimmer has it because of the "status" since it's an expensive car. I still laugh at the reactions I get when people ask me what kind of car I drive and I reply, "BMW." People immediately picture you in something like a $80,000 745Li. Little do they know that my car was a whole $1500. The name BMW has such a stigma associated with it in this country.

Yea but you have to say for the most part cars are like clothes to women. The name counts more than the quality. At least most of the women I know tend to be this way.

 

[MrElussive]

jrt, that's definitely true. People love to hear somebody else say "I drive a BMW."

BMW-FW26, that's also true. You ask any girl what car she wants and she'll say "BMW 330Ci." Women do enjoy brand names more than men.

You ask my girl what kind of car she wants next, and she'll say a used Saturn SL. She's totally not into the brand name thing.
