Bullet riddled car

Michelle Malkin, Little Green Footballs, and Captain Ed have spectacular photos (?) of the automobile that came under heavy weapons fire during the unannounced hostage release of an Italian journalist (HT: La Repubblica.it).

I saw a couple of similarly looking vehicles outside the main gate here in the states.  Must be a conspiracy.

Laurence Simon offers a proposed additional question for the driver’s licensing exam in Italy:

You are approaching a checkpoint where there are armed troops waving flashlights and firing warning shots over your vehicle. You:

a) Stop
b) Speed up
c) Immediately make a U-turn and head for the nearest cafe for expresso and gelato
d) Crap your pants

to which I add:

e) Scream and waive like an Arab terrorist to further get the Americans’ attention
f) Proceed upwind from checkpoint, throw up hands to surrender and wait for U.S. troops to pass out
g) Surrender to anyone on road prior to hitting checkpoint, explaining that Italy has a fine tradition of surrendering in modern times commencing with Ethiopia in 1896
h) Play “My Way” by Frank Sinatra on car horn as you approach
i) Put on sunglasses to cut down the glare from the flashlights

…..you are free to add to the list
