Thought the same thing until people informed me of how these things
work. There are a couple of options unless you have a Prius.
Install a gas cut-off valve, or carry a loaded 38 to shoot the damn
thing into submission. I'm thinking seriously about only buying
antique cars from now on.

Easy old fella, wouldn't want to have
you spend your pension check on more
meds. What lie is that you think you see?

You are either talking about California
roads in which case you are dead wrong
or you are talking about other roads in
which case you are terminally stupid

In your case it amounts to about the
same thing
