There's no shortage of opportunists out there. But man, he was really committed to the hoax if he let the trooper get the police car in front of him to slow him down.

If we were giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was probably in panic mode.

We own a Camry and a Prius and it is quite easy to shift into neutral. We've even practiced it on the road a few times, just in case.

Tonight, there was a follow up news report on NBC, on the guy in the San Diego Prius story -- that basically something in his story was not credible.
Jim Sikes apparently has a history of insurance claims. Filed a $700,000 bankruptcy two years ago. The facts aren't looking good for Sikes' case, especially with the 911 call.
