Sad to see the poor defenseless box destroyed (it's probably totaled).
Does show how well a box can handle tight maneuvers.
My big question: Is this a car or driver from ScionLife? Do we know her or the car?

That was absolutely amazing. The ghostriding really made it. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
I was totally rooting for the xB, by the way. Glad it ended without any casualties (other than the box). Looked like there were two stickers on the rear window, but I couldn't tell what they were.

That little box handled its self quite nicely, lol
I was lol'ing when she ghost rode the whip for 10 feet then jumped back in, and outran that police cruiser on acceleration.
Im impressed :D
I knew the auto tc can outrun a CV but I didn't know the xb had the cajones to do it.

Replacing the Scion body parts-$3000
Rehab for the driver-$1500
New tires after doing a donut and ending up the behind the police car and chasing him-priceless!
That was a very quick box-yeah, maybe the camera does add 50hp

Finally, a half way rational report on the incident.

CHP ends morning freeway chase in Rancho Santa Margarita
Woman drove at officers in Long Beach, officials said, before taking off on 22.
By SALVADOR HERNANDEZ
The Orange County Register
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – A high-speed chase that began in Long Beach and cut across several county freeways this morning came to an end just before 7 a.m., when CHP officers conducted a PIT maneuver, boxing in the driver's car, authorities said.
The driver, described as a 47-year-old woman, was driving a silver Scion at speeds of more than 100 mph at some times, drove the wrong way on the 241 toll road, drove in circles in road, and could be seen waving at a news helicopter overhead, said California Highway Patrol officer Gabe Montoya.
Officers brought the chase to an end on Oso Parkway, just as the driver of the Scion appeared to be headed toward the northbound lanes, Montoya said. The driver has been taken into custody.
The chase began in Long Beach, where officers responded to a call about a domestic dispute involving the possible use of a deadly weapon – the car, said Lt. Ted Boyne of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
The driver of the car fled from officers in Long Beach, Montoya said, and in the process attempted to run over a police officer. The driver headed east on the 22 freeway and CHP officers were contacted at 6:18 a.m. to take over the chase.
“We took it over and it proceeded in a big circle through Orange County,” Montoya said.
The driver headed east on the 22, north on the 55, then east on the 91, Montoya said. The driver maintained a speed between 90 and 100 mph.
As the chase neared Weir Canyon, the driver stopped in the FasTrak lanes briefly, but then continued driving again.
The pursuit then headed south on the 241 toll road, where the driver at one time turned around in the southbound lanes and headed north, Montoya said.
“(The driver) was doing doughnuts near the center divider, waving to the cameras,” he said.
The driver of the Scion exited the toll road on Oso Parkway and officers decided to perform a PIT maneuver, Montoya said, a maneuver in which the patrol car hits the rear side of the vehicle and cause the car to spin out. Officers then boxed the car in.
