Gave me a chuckle. :p
A Washington state woman found out the hard way that a lot of mid-\'80s budget compact cars look alike.
Theresa M. Wilson, 43, of Curtis, Wash., went to visit her ex-boyfriend early Tuesday morning — only to find him with another woman.
They got in a fight, and she stormed out, reported KATU-TV of Portland, Ore., and KIRO-TV of Seattle.
About an hour later, she spotted what she thought was his maroon 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum (search) driving ahead of her.
So she did what many scorned lovers might do — she rammed him.
After only two slams into the rear bumper, she forced the car ahead of her off the road.
Then the driver got out.
"Oh my God, oh my God. That\'s not my boyfriend," she thought, according to a Washington State Patrol trooper to whom she explained the incident.
It turned out the hapless driver, 47-year-old Timothy Baars, had been driving a red 1987 Chevrolet Sprint (search), an Isuzu-manufactured hatchback marketed under the Chevrolet name that was very similar to the Spectrum, which was made by Suzuki.

I would laugh my ass off if I got assigned to her jury. She is going to jail. Isn\'t that assault with a deadly weapon?

probably more on the lines of attempted vehicular mans-slaugter.

I\'ve heard of attempted murder, but attempted manslaughter? I don\'t know if that\'s a valid concept. I think by definition, manslaugher could not be "attempted." It\'s accidental, but includes some kind of negligence.
I think this would just be an assault, which is still a serious felony.
