It was a Bentley.

Dude owned a very successful lumber company that I go to, Gui's Lumber, seven stores in all. His father started the business. When I would walk out to pick lumber from a pile there was always some crazy vehicle sitting there that they owned.

I understand that Bentley had some sort of safety recall that may be behind this. I also wonder if he had a tune or any power related mods done to the car because the son was into that kind of thing. The car got going very fast in a somewhat constrained space so I'm guessing it may have indeed been modded. It happened on the American side with him headed in the direction of the Canadian side.

The car got launched from driving up and along and over the sloped section of a Jersey Barrier.

Joe Biden's scheme to cede the future
to China through lithium-powered EVs has been a catastrophic failure. And now, car dealers are telling Joe Biden exactly that.
Car dealers across the U.S. are
warning Joe Biden that his "unrealistic" green energy agenda must be abandoned, mainly because Americans are not buying Electric Vehicles (EVs) as the administration expected.
Executives with car dealerships from Massachusetts to Alabama to Wyoming sent a letter to Biden this week, urging his administration to drop EV mandates and green energy requirements on the auto industry, citing a lack of interest among American consumers in EVs.


.. we are asking you to slow down your proposed regulations mandating battery electric vehicle (BEV) production and distribution," the car dealers tell Biden:
Your administration has proposed regulations that would essentially mandate a dramatic shift to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), increasing year after year until 2032, when two out of every three vehicles sold in America would have to be battery electric.


The reality, however, is that electric vehicle demand today is not keeping up with the large influx of BEVs arriving at our dealerships prompted by the current regulations. BEVs are stacking up on our lots.
According to the car dealers, "enthusiasm has stalled" with EVs and the number of unsold EVs sitting on dealership lots are piling up "even with deep price cuts, manufacturer incentives, and generous government incentives."


"With each passing day, it becomes more apparent that this attempted electric vehicle mandate is unrealistic based on current and forecasted customer demand," the car dealers write to Biden. "Already, electric vehicles are stacking up on our lots which is our best indicator of customer demand in the marketplace."


Americans are mostly concerned with the cost of EVs, the car dealers write, as well as the unavailability of charging stations, the time it takes to charge an EV, and the loss of driving range depending on the weather and towing. "Today's current technology is not adequate to support the needs of the majority of our consumers," they write.

I swear someone on here was making fun of all who said this a year ago. We did not understand the the car manufacturers were so smart and knew what they were doing. LMAO. I hope they all take it in the ass.
