| Quote: | Man shot his own car
A US man who shot his car when it wouldn't start ended up in jail after shocked neighbours called police.
John McGivney pulled out a gun and fired five rounds into the bonnet of his Chrysler.
When asked what he was doing, McGivney, 64, said: "I'm putting my car out of its misery."
He then calmly tucked his gun in a pocket and went back inside his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Police arrested him for discharging the firearm, a .380-caliber semiautomatic, in public.
After being bailed, McGivney said the car has been giving him trouble for years and had "outlived its usefulness".
He called the shooting "dumb" but said he didn't regret it.
"I think every guy in the universe has wanted to do it," he said. "It was worth every damn minute in that jail."

I had a 3rd class on the USS James E. Keyes do exactly the same
thing only with a bigger gun. No jail time for him though, just
a throughly dead car.

The guy was probably one of those angry democrats and blamed Bush and the Zionists for his car's defects...

Worse.
Gary, Indiana.
Must've been all those fumes that screwed up his brain.
