I could have sworn that at some point over the last 20 something years that
I read that aircraft have the right-of-way on airport grounds. This may have
been a particular airport's rules but considering how much easier it is to
stop a car or truck it would make good sense.

Amazing...No pilot in command!

I agree that the car driver should be held at fault. Where I live, we
some common roadway/taxiways, on which signs advise "Aircraft have
Right-of-way." Even so, I have, on several occasions, had to stop to
avoid colliding with some dimwit in a car violating the rule.

It sounds as if Mr. Treit thought that the rules apply to everyone but
himself.

We'll have to wait for "The Rest of the Story". I wonder if the agents shot
a hole in the Lamborghini's radiator to put it out of it's misery. Nahh. A 9
mm wouldn't do the job. :)

The FBI uses .40 S&W but it's still a bit on the wimpy side when
compared to a .357 Magnum. ;o)

I'm willing to bet there is more to the story or the guy is ****ed that
his insurance didn't pay and he's trying to get somebody else to cover
his screwup.

Which is a bit on the wimpy side compared to my .44 Magnum. :-)

The company I worked for at the time, Metal Innovations, repaired the
FBI airplane.

I think it will be quiet around here now. So long.

I suppose the proper response would be for the government to sue the
owner of the Lamborghini. You drop your lawsuit, and I'll drop mine...
It has worked for me in the past.
