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.

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.
