Red Lexus? That shouldn't be too difficult to find...

I wish I could say this mannerism is new, but sadly it isn't I remember coming upon an "accident" scene where a man had been driving two "friends" somewhere when they decided that they deserved to have his truck more than he did. They pushed him out of his own truck then ran him over with it and left him in the street like a dead animal. Luckily some witnesses followed them to where they ditched the truck and the police caught them. They're only real worry was the truck owner was able to identify them. Sick, sick, sick!
