USC Students Killed: Carjacking Attempt Turns Deadly (UPDATED)

[Perfectlap]

Wow that's horrible. Anyone ever pulled a gun on me I'd get out and point out where the refueling lid is and give them five bucks for gas. Then I'd point out that I'm agent for a federal agency and that the car has a GPS tracking chip that two teams are currently monitoring from the air and ground, with high-powered video surveilance as part of a drug interdiction detail. Then I'd say have a nice day.
But come to think of it I'd have a gun in face so I'd probably be soiling myself. Haven't had that experience with a common criminal, which really changes the whole equation as they're usually stoned.

p.s.
You can actually spend $60k on a 3 series?

I thought handguns are illegal in Cahifornia?

[pothole]

Guns don't kill people, apparently.

[Jaxonalden]

Highly doubt it was a car jacking, you don't just pop two people to take their car, which they didn't BTW. Two Chinese electrical engineers? Sounds like a neutralization to me.

Notice a witness said she only heard one shot? Two guns going off at the same time make one bang!

This is tragic.

Every gangbanger in LA knows one thing: Don't mess with the USC kids. Because if you do, the LA City police and LA County Sherriff's are going to come down on every gangbanger in the area like you haven't seen since Rodney King. This ain't a race thing, anyone who breaks the unwritten rule about USC is going to take some serious heat.

Just like Porsche, its all in the options; if you can spend $75K+ on a Boxster, you can definitely spend $60K on a 3'er!

Try the new Porsche site car calculator, choose an S and getting to 75K is a snap, there is also no more PSE.

PS If gangbangers are responsible then the po po should find them and kick butt.

Anyone makes a furtive move toward the Dangermobile, the last thing they'll remember seeing is muzzle flash !!

Funnily enough, in today's world having a manual transmission itself is a theft deterrent in it's own case.

LOL
My neighbors pick up was $54k!
I'm sure it's incredible but that's a lot of cash at 7mpg. (Okay maybe he gets 13 on the highway.)

I found Texas last August during my road trip, as you can see in this photo it looks pretty safe.

What a person should do is give them the car willingly
and have previously had a kill switch installed. Once they are about a block away you activate the remote kill switch. The car comes to a grinding halt and you hide around a corner and peek to see when they have gone. I should patent this idea.

[dghii]

Hi have a car with a built in kill switch. Its called an Alfa Romeo.
