Car Salesmen thinks he's The Stig and kills someone - Polidicks

[quote]A Pennsylvania car salesman who drove 100 mph during a test drive to show his customers "how it's done" but crashed, killing one of them, faces criminal charges, police said. Michael Hershey, 48, was expected to surrender imminently to police, defense attorney Janice Longer said on Saturday. He is charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance and recklessly endangering another person. Police said Hershey had a blood alcohol level of .06, below the legal limit of .08, and tested positive for marijuana use. The December 30 accident killed Jon Christian Jensen, 48, who with his son, Tyler, 20, joined Hershey in a test drive of a Mitsubishi Lancer from Imports of Lancaster County, a dealership in East Petersburg, Pennsylvania. Tyler Jensen drove first, but Hersey took the wheel to "show you how it's done," police said the son told them. He told police Hershey was driving at about 100 mph when a truck pulled onto the road in East Hempfield Township. Hershey hit the brakes and swerved, and the car hit an embankment and rolled into a field, the son told police. Police said when they arrived, the elder Jensen was dead, his son was tending to him and Hershey complained of chest pains. The Lancaster County District Attorney's office filed charges against Hershey earlier this week.[/quote] [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41925835/ns/us_news/from/toolbar[/url] [quote]who drove 100 mph during a test drive to show his customers "how it's done" but crashed[/quote] I can't help but find this slightly funny... Also, [quote]and tested positive for marijuana use.[/quote] Oh noes!

The Stig's Pennsylvanian Cousin is a disappointment.

So did he buy the car?

One of the Stig Farm rejects got loose, I see.

This guy should've been selling life insurance instead

Shame the car salesman didn't die, would have been a textbook example of a Darwin award.

No, it's because he said "Watch this!" before the crash AND "How hard can it be" before he started

Have a beer and a blunt, show up to work, say "Watch this!" and drive at 100m/h. Pretty stupid way to go.

Ban stig, sue top gear

Some say he kills passengers while demonstrating a vehicle in a test drive And that even as we speak he is being brought up on charges of vehicular homicide All we know is he's not the Stig

This guy gives the Stig a bad name.

Why was it mentioned that he tested positive for marijuana usage? I mean, really? You just fucking know they're trying to link this with marijuana usage.

Did he also test positive in a mental evaluation?

[QUOTE=nikomo;28442011]Why was it mentioned that he tested positive for marijuana usage? I mean, really? You just fucking know they're trying to link this with marijuana usage.[/QUOTE] Because they had already mentioned his BAC so why not mention other substances that he was currently under the influence of? [editline]5th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Doozle;28442494]Cannabis can show up positively in urine tests days, even weeks after use :eng101:[/QUOTE] They use a blood test for DUI

This is obviously how its done.

Really, though, if you were out for a test drive and the (clearly shitfaced) salesman said "Now, move over and let me show you how it's done", why on earth would you actually do it?

[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;28440669]So did he buy the car?[/QUOTE] Nah he bought the farm instead.

No where in this article does it mention The Stig.

[QUOTE=Hamushka11;28451442]No where in this article does it mention The Stig.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that was just a joke for the thread title.

[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;28440669]So did he buy the car?[/QUOTE] No, but he bought the farm. [editline]6th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;28442699]Nah he bought the farm instead.[/QUOTE] I come for you in your sleep. :argh:

Even if he didn't crash what the hell kind of salesman thinks he's going to make a sale by demonstrating how to beat the shit out of the car a customer is interested in purchasing?
