1. Did they catch the driver?

Hit and runs are a big problem here. I say no mercy for them. Stop and at least get help instead of fleeing.

2. Reminds me of that Repuke AG (or whatever he was) from the Dakotas...

Sick and sad.

He thought he could get away without being discovered, apparently.

4. Windshield

But after driving a couple miles with a dead body on his winshield? In a major suburban area of Washington?

5. Sarcasm

When I’m in the same situation I usually just accelerate rapidly, and then brake abruptly so the body rolls off the car. Then I open up another cold one, and take off again, swerving to avoid the body.

6. That's why it's always a good idea to have them check your brakes when you get your oil changed.

Shitty brakes --- well, the body just rolls off the hood and in front of you. Ya need brakes, strong enough to toss Henry at least 10 ft in front of the car.
