LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA, Fla. - A man with car trouble is in trouble after shooting five rounds into the hood of his Chrysler "to put my car out of its misery."



John McGivney, 64, shot his 1994 LeBaron with a .380-caliber semiautomatic, Broward County sheriff's deputies said.


When the property manager at his apartment complex asked what he was doing, McGivney said, "I'm putting my car out of its misery." He tucked his gun in a pocket and went back inside.


He was arrested Friday on a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm in public. He posted $100 bail Saturday.


McGivney said the car has been giving him trouble for years and had "outlived its usefulness." He called the shooting "dumb" and worries he will be evicted. But he doesn't regret it.


"I think every guy in the universe has wanted to do it," McGivney told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "It was worth every damn minute in that jail."

reminds me of when Pryor took a magnum to his ride when his wife threatened to leave him....


"leave? not in this mutha a you ain't....you'll be driving those hushpuppies you got on..."

he shot his car three times....and then he heard the police coming and went inside the house because...."cops don't shoot cars....they shoot nigg-ars...."
