A woman stole two vehicles and led police on a wild car chase through a sleepy town in Utah, cops said. And she did it all in the nude. "This was an episode that was beyond normal," Capt. Tom McLachlan of the West Valley City Police Department told KSL5 News. Sylvina Beagley began her bizarre adventure in the buff by pulling up to a man on Highway 111 who was hanging a sign, police said. The naked 31-year-old then got out of her car and stole his. The man quickly took the woman's car and followed her while calling authorities. When she left the highway and got stuck on a dirt road, she abandoned the vehicle and hid. Police arrived, but had trouble subduing her. "She was hot and sweaty, dirty, very slippery," McLachlan said. "She managed to escape the grasp of the two officers." Beagley then stole a cop car, police said, dragging the officers for a short time. The chase resumed, but ended shortly afterward when the woman hit a dirt berm and crashed. "She was airborne about 50 feet before crashing into another berm," McLachlan said, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Fearing she would escape once again, police said, she was Tasered and quickly arrested. "She was not obeying commands to stop, cease and desist, anything," McLachlan said. Authorities do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved, but she is undergoing a medical assessment. She is being held on two counts of motor vehicle theft, felony fleeing and lewdness.
7 abandoned cars at a closed down car dealer. i explained about these cars in my previous update video so make sure to watch it if you want to know the story. Two antique cars abandoned, 1983 Ford F100 and 1986 Chevrolet S10 Five other cars abandoned, a very rare 1st gen Hyundai Elantra, rare Volkswagen Quantum Syncro, a 2nd gen Ford Escort wagon, a 1998 Ford Escort, and a 1st gen Chrysler Sebring convertible. All these cars will ensurely be taken to the crusher likely within a few weeks. I know the cops have an eye on these cars, and if a car dealer abandons cars, cops wait only so long to give them a chance to get them hauled out of there and if not then the cops haul the cars away and they go to the crusher. The reason i say its the new cash for clunkers is, because the salvage yard that takes these vehicles will be making cash off of them and not having to pay a cent for them, so they will make 100% profit.
There is a growing number of electric cars. However, most of them will go out of fashion, as soon as the users/owners realize that electric cars' battery replacement cost is 4x-6x higher than using gasoline. Battery Electric Vehicles must be made with Discarded (Revived) Batteries to be...
Here is a car my brother just bought. He has been looking to speculate on old cars and look what he found.... This is a '70 AMC Javelin SST, possible Mark Donahue edition. The owners widow allegedly has a stack of paperwork to this car so we are crossing our fingers there is something to document a real Donahue car. This is Tijuana Tan metallic, 360-4V, Safe Command power brakes and power steering. It is very original and unmolested. The story goes is the original owners bought it, drove it until sometime in 1979 when the trans went out. The husband started to pull the trans out, but passed away suddenly. His widow left this car and 3 others where they sat for the next 31 years. They literally had to spend a week cutting down the forest to get them out. This Javelin wears vintage Cragar-type wheels, has the requisite add-on 8 track player also! I will get more video and photos as we progress through clean-up and mechanical evaluation of this AMC. Please comment and subscribe, thanks!
Auto Abuse is rampant! All over the world there are hoarders who let classic cars sit and rot away. I am trying to get a new law passed to allow good people to rescue these vehicles. My proposal is that if said vehicle is not stored INDOORS than owner MUST comply with the following conditions: (I don't ask much) 1. All tires must be aired up or car must be put up on blocks or jack stands all corners. 2. Grass and weeds around vehicle to be cut every 30 days 3. Vehicle must have all glass intact or be covered with a weather-proof tarp or equivelent. (Come on people a tarp is $5) 4. Vehicle may not sit in one place for more than 2 years unless said owner has a buissness licence such as a junkyard 5. If seller refuses to do the above they will have a 30 day period to sell it, repair it, or it will be classified as an ABANDONED VEHICLE and sold to the highest bidder so that we may rescue these pieces of history and cease to see them rot away. PLEASE if you agree with this SIGN MY PETITION!!! Just leave a comment with your name if you wish to remain anonymous just put (JOHN DOE and your age), city, and state and I will add it to the rapidly growing list. THANKS !!!
In this video, you can see many Ford 1972 GTS (Gran Torino Sport) in sad positions waiting to be saved. These are forgotten cars rotting away across America. Even abandoned in the woods or scrapyards, there is a lot of beauty in these cars. The 1972 Ford Gran Torino was a one year body-style with its unique front end. Here is the blog I created for my 72: fordtorino72.blogspot.com

This is the original video, filmed by me, uploaded by me. This couple were warned by neighbours not to venture out that day and they were the only people to attempt to drive on that road. There were numerous pedestrians around who could barely walk on the black ice so a car really stood no chance. Near the start of the video you can see a recovery truck. This had been stuck there, blocking the road for 3 hours and didn't move for another 2 hours after this incident. Thankfully, no pedestrians or children were hit by the shamelessly abandoned car. PLEASE, check your local roads before setting out on a journey. Listen to local radio, speak to neighbours and try to avoid being part of incidents like this. Fancy copying this video? Don't bother :)

A handfull of new abandoned truck and Houses photos we took this past July in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Check out the very cool 1930's or so General Motors Firetruck here.
FOLLOW UP: This vehicle was sent to a scrap yard. This vehicle was not mine, therefore I had no control over the decision. This Mercedes has been in this spot from 1998 to 2009. It was a customer's project, that I guess he abandoned. The interior really stinks and the car is really rotted, the odometer read 30000 miles but I don't know if it rolled over or not. It doesn't run, came all the way from California just to sit and rot.

A landscape of desolation. In the middle of the stage is an abandoned car. It is completely destroyed -- the last refuge of desperation. It is here that Lulu turns tricks as a prostitute. The moon from the first scene has risen. Alwa, sick with venereal disease, Schigolch and Lulu have been reduced to utter poverty -- their only source of income, Lulu's prostitution. Lulu receives the first of 3 clients -- strange evocations of a previous life. The Countess returns with a portrait of Lulu in her glory days. The reminder of who she had been at one point in her life is too much for Lulu to bear. Lulu's second client arrives and kills Alwa. Lulu's third client arrives. She begs him to join her in the abandoned car. As Geschwitz waits outside of the car vowing to start a new life for Women's rights, she hears a scream. Lulu is pressed against the windshield in a vain attempt to escape her murderer. She has been killed by her third client, Jack the Ripper. He buries the knife in Geschwitz as he leaves. The Countess swears everlasting devotion to Lulu and dies. For more Constance Hauman videos, visit ConstanceHauman.com

This place used to be a massive car yard scattered over a few acres and nestled deep in the woods. After having visited it several times over the past year to get photos, I returned to get video footage this month and found it in the demolition phase. There were a few cars left untouched on the edge of the property, but most have been crushed and thrown into piles that are currently being removed. A separate video shows the interior of the shop seen here. www.youtube.com
