MIAMI (Reuters) - Fed up with his troublesome car, a Florida man fired five rounds from a semi-automatic pistol into the hood of the 1994 Chrysler LeBaron.
'I'm putting my car out of its misery,' 64-year-old John McGivney said after the incident outside an apartment building in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, according to a police report that listed the car as 'deceased.'
McGivney surrendered to police, was jailed on a firearms charge on Friday and released on bond a day later. He told them the car had been giving him trouble for years.
'I think every guy in the universe has wanted to do it,' the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Wednesday quoted McGivney as saying. 'It was worth every damn minute in that jail.'
And you know what, I've driven Chrysler LeBarons. Shooting it 5 times was merciful!![]()
