The CCR debuted at the Geneva auto show in 2004. Also, Arthur told the Gumball 3000 film crew that he saw the cops and managed to slow down a lot before being clocked. He got a fine for doing 127 mph, according to himself. When the CCR did its top speed run at Nardo it reached 240.7 mph. Bear in mind that the CCR developes 150 more HP than its predecessor, CC8S.

My friend turned me on to a free site, (no email needed, they make money on advertisements) on how to get out of a speeding ticket. It has a pretty funny video and I downloaded the pdf, and it looks pretty cool. I am going to try it out. It is www.ticket-gone.com Let me know what you think...

The radiator cap argument makes sense. Your second point, however, is all relative. Imagine if your income were $40K per day and you felt like making a high-profile statement of excess. If I had the means, I just might be capable of the same idiocy. Thanks, Dean. The radiator cap argument makes sense. Your second point, however, is all relative.

Surely he could have parked the new car at the dealer (minus rad cap) and come back for it (or had it shipped) with a new rad cap later to recover at least some of his money. In 2003, a New Beetle Turbo S (the "new one") started at about $24k before discounts, negotiation, and options.

The New Beetle Turbo S was launched in 2002 not 2003, so it wouldn't have been so new in May 2003 that a VW dealer couldn't supply a new rad cap (but could somehow supply the entire car). The basic turbocharged engine was available in the New Beetle from 1999. Further, the 1.8t (basic turbo) and Turbo S use the same radiator. Even worse (for this story), the 1.8t, non-turbo, and Turbo S use the same radiator cap according to two online parts searches. Shenanigans.
