Default Ghost Car... WTF? O.o

No seriously. I found this pretty creepy.

Ghost Car

Anybody know how this could have happened? There HAS to be some kind of reasonable explanation.

it looks to me like he just took out one section of fence, and the one that the cop turned onto was still intact so they stopped it there for the sake of the show

i think its an old, rich, bored, man that swapped a 2JZ in the lex and then for his dissapearing act, he put a spring up fence and put it up just as he crossed it. i would do that if i was ever rich, and bored and and wanted to **** with the police.

the bottom of the fence came up and was still attached to the top, so it flipped up and came back down. The car kept going in the grass.

Top of the fence was attached, the bottom was not. He drove under the top part of the fence and the chain length part just slid over his car. The unit following him probably thought that it was much easier to explain to his Lt. that the guy got away rather than how he ripped his lightbar off the top of his car.

Sounds pretty logical to me. I'll submit to this theory.

I can accept the fact that there might be a ghost car , I did grow up on a southern plantation.

What I can't accept is how he can achieve "supernatural speeds" in that car. It's a 94 - 96 Chevy Corsica!
