Volkswagen Beetle Does 115 mph!?
It’s not often a Volkswagen gets pulled over for much of anything – let alone breaking the speed limit. Last week, that all changed – when Nathan Charles Hurlbirt of Colorado was chased for doing 115 miles per hour on Interstate 25. It was a beautiful night in Arapahoe County, CO when Nathan decided to fling his vintage VW Beetle around a mall parking lot. But the fun didn’t stop there! Hurlbirt jumped onto I-25 and wanted to find out just how fast his little love bug could go.
He found out when Arapahoe sheriffs clocked him at 115 mph. Police actually began a pursuit, but cut it off when Nathan wouldn’t pull over. Guess those Crown Vic’s couldn’t keep up. A few miles down the road, this exciting Beetle story came to an abrupt end. Hurlbirt apparently lost control of his 1949 Beetle and smashed it up on a highway divider. He is being held on many charges- not including the hate felt by many vintage Beetle fans. What can we take away from this tale? How about the fact that Nathan smashed his Beetle into a divider at 115 mph and was later released from the hospital (before being taken into custody) with no injuries.
OMG tht is amzn nic for age! must be super rare. how much is it?
