 Posted: 04/21/05 - 17:45 Post subject: Men Only: You know you've always wanted to
do this to some inatimate object that was driving you nutty:
Man shot his own car
A US man who shot his car when it wouldn't start ended up in jail after shocked neighbours called police.
John McGivney pulled out a gun and fired five rounds into the bonnet (hood) of his Chrysler.
When asked what he was doing, McGivney, 64, said: "I'm putting my car out of its misery."
He then calmly tucked his gun in a pocket and went back inside his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Police arrested him for discharging the firearm, a .380-caliber semiautomatic, in public.
After being bailed, McGivney said the car has been giving him trouble for years and had "outlived its usefulness".
He called the shooting "dumb" but said he didn't regret it.
"I think every guy in the universe has wanted to do it," he said. "It was worth every damn minute in that jail."

If you can't shoot your own car on your own property, what can you do?
I want my rights back.

I have done that before. It is a lot of fun.
Nowhere near as fun, unfortunately, as I bet Selma Hayek would be.
Bless you, BB.
