3 things most people should know:
1. You can't out-run radio waves.
2. Unless you are in a supercar the car you are in isn't faster flat out than a cop car.
3. Being chased by a bear is not as bad as an angry cop when it's all said and done.
1: True
3: True
2: Erm, depends on the car.
Around here, we have Crown Vics for the most part around here which, if you're really going all out, no, you don't need a "super car."
