Sometimes we can’t believe the cars criminals use to try running from police, like this suspect caught in a stolen Toyota Corolla he tries using to run a couple of pursuing troopers off the highway. He even uses the little compact sedan to ram one of the Viriginia State Police cruisers a few times, utterly failing to push the little four banger hard enough to get away.

Watch cops lay a trap for a repeat runner in a Dodge Hellcat.

Dashcam footage shows the whole chase play out after a plate reader alerted troopers to the presence of the stolen Toyota. What anyone watching this who’s dumb enough to drive around in a stolen vehicle should learn from this is if you’re in a Corolla, just pull over and surrender. Running is going to be far more painful.

But this individual seems to think he can get away. Look, if you can’t smoke a couple of Ford Explorer Police Interceptors, well that’s pathetic. Despite that glaring fact staring this guy in the face, he keeps pushing the Corolla for all it’s worth, which in a police chase really isn’t all that much.

Don’t get us wrong, a Corolla is a great car for a young driver or a price conscious commuter who also wants a vehicle that won’t grenade its engine or transmission just north of 100,000 miles. But it’s a horrible getaway ride.

After the troopers deal with this fool ramming them, running them off the road, and slipping out of attempts to box him in, the gloves come off. That’s when one of the troopers does a hard PIT maneuver, spinning the Toyota so it hits a concrete wall, spraying sparks everywhere.  

In a testament to the Corolla’s durability, that doesn’t concave the sedan’s body structure but it does end the chase. Still, our suspect driver thinks he’s a track star until a trooper wearing 50 lbs. of gear easily chases him down, showing he’s about as slow as the stolen car he was driving. Sad.
