Yeah, I know. I wonder where? I go there frequently on business. Just what I want...a speeding, out of control car with no driver coming up behind me...

I'm curious why instead of aiming for a tree, ASSuming that all "normal" methods for stopping the car failed, she didn't just sideswipe some Armco or Jersey barrier and ride it down until it was going slow enough to safely turn off the ignition (assuming she was worried about the steering lock. If it could be turned off without locking the steering, that would have been the first thing to do.) nate
