Take a look at this. A dramatic and dangerous chase down an Oklahoma City freeway, this guy is flying. It started out as a traffic stop, but quickly became something else as the Gold sedan weaves in and out of traffic. The police cruiser can barely keep up. Speeds topped out at more than 130 miles an hour. He tries to swing into a parking lot, and hits a curve, knocks over a sign, ends up boxed-in a parking lot of a Chili’s. Both the driver and the passenger are dragged out and cuffed 1, and you know officers won't be gentle after a stunt 2 like that.


 


Need proof of how badly the car industry is struggling? One auto 3 dealer 4 near Chicago is practically giving cars away, and that’s not an exaggeration. Mancari’s Chrysler Jeep in Oak Lawn is offering a 2008 PT Cruiser for just one dollar when you buy a new Jeep Grand Cherokee, or a Pacifica Mini-van for about 40, 000 bucks 5, the dealership 6 says there're about 20 vehicles left.


 


Elephants, giraffes, and water buffalo 7, oh, my! If your dream vacation involves an African safari 8, now might be the time to make that dream come true, because of the struggling tourist trades some luxury resorts in Africa are offering discounts. For Take a Look at This, I’m Michelle Wright.
