I agree they should not try to run her over, however, if you do not understand why they are trying to protect their product from being leaked before it is released then you do not know anything about business...

Dude, seriously. Nobody in the car business is naive enough to believe that nobody will try to snap a pic of the new cars in development. Thats why they go to the trouble of disguising them. The testers should just get on with their business and not worry about the inevitable leaks....

Just b/c it's a possibility does not mean they're going to just lay back and take it. That's ludacris. Granted running someone over isn't the best tactic, however, I understand a company trying to keep some of their secrets.... well.... secret.

No, I would've remember that... at least that's NOT what I read... but I can see it happening since there are a lot of car companies' head offices down in that area.

Brenda Priddy for the win! Nice to see her in action - she rocks!

In a climate like we are in today, automakers should welcome her! She's the kind of person who is keeping "the buzz" (if any) alive!
