Am I the only one who smells BS all over story? Lets see.... two employees, getting paid by the hour, get to drive a cool company vehicle (with sirens and light!) using the company's fuel to another city.

I think one or both of them had some personal business in the other city... like perhaps picking up a girlfriend and giving her a free ride to London? Picking up some drugs? A joy ride on the company's dime? Hmmmm..]]>Dec 4th 2006 9:12PM<![CDATA[Comments on 200 miles later, ambulance crew learns to be skeptical of GPS]]>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/200-miles-later-ambulance-crew-learns-to-be-skeptical-of-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/04/200-miles-later-ambulance-crew-learns-to-be-skeptical-of-gps/Dec 5th 2006 3:47AM
