Thats ridiculous! They know he did it, bring him back and let him face the fiddler! Don't give him a choice! In the meantime, this dealership is out a car, a salesman is probably scared to death!! and this jerk is probably cleaning his fingernails to pass time!

Get him back here and throw him in the clinker and if he doesn't speak English, well he should've learned before he came here!

You've got to be kidding me!!! The salesman let a person take a car for a test ride, in spite if the fact he didn't know english? Did they do a little sign language or maybe get on babbelfish for translations???

Does immigration know about this? I'll bet he's not a citizen (or have valid driving license) either?

The police aren't sure if he stopped along the way??? I guess he refueled the car while it was moving.

It sounds like that episode of Seinfeld. I wonder if Newman and Kramer were chasing him in a postal vehicle filled with cans?

No No, It was the episode where Kramer took a car for a test drive and wanted to see how low he could get the gas gauge to go before running out of gas. But, this dude made it to Wisconsin. Must be a Packer Fan.

Something smells very fishy about this. First of all I have never seen a new car on a car lot that has a full tank of gas in it. Secondly if the salesman jumped out in West Stockbridge, why did it take 12 hours to find the car.(He never could have made the trip in the time frame mentioned by taking back roads) It's 1000 miles to Janesville Wi. He would have had to AVERAGE 66.66 MPH to make it by the time mentioned.(He must have filled up while moving as said by someone else) Thirdly, unless I have the map upside down, Canada is a lot closer if you take 91 north out of Springfield. This sounds more like " I'll trade you a new Honda for that bag of goodies". I do hope that the Eagle will break their normal tradition of no updates and inform the readers of any new info on this story. Until then we can all play Sherlock Holmes.
