Can A Prius Go That Fast? Or, Al Gore III Doped Up And Speeding…

| Trackback |

Could be the best headline I’ve seen in a while:

Al Gore’s son arrested for drugs, speeding in hybrid

LOS ANGELES — The 24-year-old son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested for drug possession on Wednesday after he was stopped for allegedly speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius, a sheriff’s official said.

Al Gore III – whose father is a leading advocate of policies to fight global warming – was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 160 kilometres per hour on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff’s deputy at about 2:15 a.m.

A subsequent search yielded a small amount of marijuana, along with prescription drugs including Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and Adderall, said sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino. There were no prescriptions found, he said.

160 kph = 100 mph

Can a Prius seriously go that fast? I just think its funny that they make a big deal of his “environmentally friendly” car. It ain’t so friendly to anyone in the surrounding environment if the drunken, doped up louse were to go out of control, wreck, and take some innocent people with him. But, hey, at least he was reducing his carbon footprint!
