Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

(S)he's going the distance
(S)he's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in her time of need

No contest on the biggest idiot. That would be the copper who drove right into the planter, chased the car around on foot, and then tried to shoot its tires out.

That is too crazy - must be seen to be believed! The cops didn't do their profession much credit, but what was the suspect thinking anyway? Many a cop will tell you that the overwhelming majority of criminals and scofflaws are, to put it politely, a few cats shy of an alley.
