CONWAY, Mass (Reuters) – When buying a car, the phrase Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) is an important thing to keep in mind. I need to learn the Latin phrase for Dealership Beware in this story. Or at least, if you are a dealership, remember that there are crazy people out there with anger problems when you are selling used cars that may or may not be any good. Or, my favorite title for this story…”When the dealership hands you lemons…Completely lose your mind.”
This is a story of a dispute that began when David Cross, 42, of Salisbury, Massachusetts bought a van on Monday at the Portsmouth Used Car Superstore, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Cross told police that his mechanic quickly found a variety of problems with the van and advised him to return it to the dealer. But the dealer declined to take back what Cross said was a "lemon".
After the dealership closed on Tuesday, Cross returned at midnight and used his van to smash into seven vehicles on the dealer's lot, including a Mercedes C300 and a Ford Mustang, causing damage initially estimated at $20,000, police said.
"He damaged each one, and then he left his van that he bought behind," Russo said.
He then crossed the street to where a police cruiser happened to be parked and reported the incident, leading an officer back to the wrecks.
After his arrest, Cross was charged with seven counts of criminal mischief, a felony due to the damage amount, Russo said.
Cross was released on personal recognizance and was scheduled to be arraigned September 19 in Portsmouth District Court.
The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation on Thursday suggested that individuals who believe they have bought a lemon call its hotline for help.
ADELAIDE, Australia – An unsteady forklift dropped a container full of fine Australian wine worth more than $1 million, smashing most of the bottles. The winemaker says he's "gut-wrenched, shocked and numb" after the loss of his flagship shiraz.
Sparky Marquis of Mollydooker Wines lost a third of his Velvet Glove Shiraz production after the accident that destroyed all but one of the 462 cases bound for the United States. Each bottle of the Mollydooker wine sells for $200.
Marquis said Friday that when workers opened up the dropped container, "it was like a murder scene. There was red everywhere."
He said the wine was fully insured.
The accident has crippled Mollydooker's U.S. launch in September. It will also impact the wine market in Australia.
NICHOLASVILLE, Kentucky - Moments after driving in the demolition derby at the Jessamine County Fair on July 13th, a Kentucky man ended up being taken to jail.
Kentucky Police said 36-year-old David Warner was so drunk that they had to charge him with DUI.
Police say during the demolition derby itself, they began receiving complaints about Warner, claiming he was under the influence.
As soon as the derby was over, the police approached Warner as he got out of his car.
Police say Warner was staggering, and having trouble standing up straight.
Police then gave Warner a sobriety test. Officers said he was clearly drunk.
Warner was immediately placed under arrest and charged with DUI.
The next afternoon, Warner went to the local media saying he was unfairly treated, and called the charge ridiculous.
"I mean, I'm not denying I wasn't drinking by no means, but I was not drunk. I was under the limit," said David Warner.
Warner claims he drank a few beers before hitting the track, to "loosen me up," but he said it wasn't enough to warrant a DUI.
"I'm not perfect, but this has gone too far, and I will fight it," he said.
Oh, and as a side-note. Warner WON the demolition derby. Proving once again that drunk people are really good at driving over things.

Winnipeg Jets announced their new logo.
Something to Think About:
1. We need to create new last names for Hispanics.
Hernandez, Sanchez, Martinez, Garcia, Lopez, Rodriguez, and Perez covers like 80% of the Hispanic population.
2. Perhaps the worst slogan of all time: Winchell’s Doughnuts Slogan – With a donut in each hand, anything is possible.
3. Bill Simmons plan to move the NBA Finals to Vegas – TERRIBLE
4. I like songs with the F word in them. Although I don't much like the F word in spoken things.
5. Cars should get the right of way, not pedestrians. Cars are big, fast, and will can kill pedestrians. We shouldn’t make pedestrians think they have the right to jump in front of cars.
6. No such thing as a premium snow cone. ALL snowcones taste the same.
7. DVD Intros - Cut it out, already.

Vertically Striped Music Recommendation:
Start Wearing Purple - Gogol Bordello (Clip 92)
Gypsy Punk Music by band Gogol Bordello – Weird, yet I can’t turn away.
Frontman Eugene Hütz said in an interview, "It's one of the very few songs I wrote for a girl. I just moved in with my girlfriend in New York. We had a neighbor: an old woman who was always dressed in purple head to toe. She was clearly bonkers. So whenever my girlfriend and I had an argument and she would start screaming at me, I would say: you might as well start wearing purple now".[1] In another interview, he stated that the song was written around 1995.
Shalom and Good Evening to you all!
