    "Witnesses told 2 NEWS the chase reached speeds up to 100 mph."

    Clearly the GP is not a good getaway vehicle... At least not the 3100 versions... Could the 3100 reach 100 mph?

    Isn't that Greg's "whipple" car that we only got like 9 seconds of video about?

    I still believe Greg's whipple car is a myth...9 seconds of video hardly justifies ownership.

    The key is to buy a bunch of plastidip from different stores with cash, proceed to dip your entire car, remove license plates, commit crime, find a good place to hide, peel off all the dip and put it in a dumpster, re-install license plates, and go on ahead and blend in with traffic again.

    Or you know be like most thieves and steal a car and then torch it when your done making sure to destroy all evidence and finger prints lol
