In a feat so incredible you’d think somehow gave his stolen 18 year-old economy car some meth to get it fired up, 56 year-old Milan, Illinois derelict Howard Frye managed to push the engine of a 2007 Hyundai Elantra up past the 100 mph mark early Saturday, Quad Cities news reports.

Frye managed the impressive and unexpected feat of horsepower from the Korean shitbox during an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to elude Iowa State Troopers during a pursuit in the Davenport area.

The arrest affidavit from the officer who led the chase wrote “I continued westbound accelerating to speeds in excess of 100 mph. The vehicle crossed the center line multiple times while fleeing. The vehicle failed to obey multiple red lights. The pursuit continued until the vehicle failed to negotiate a T-intersection and went off the roadway straight, causing disabling damage. The vehicle continued through (a) field.” Then, unlike the vehicle he had just totaled, Frye himself was unable to muster a similarly untapped well of speed from within – even with the aid of methamphetamine – as he was apprehended on foot shortly after running away from the wreckage of the stolen Hyundai.

“Frye stated he had methamphetamine in his pants pocket. I located a bag containing a crystalline substance suspected to be methamphetamine. Frye had an unused glass pipe that is commonly used to smoke methamphetamine in his pocket. Frye admitted to smoking methamphetamine a few hours prior to the incident,” the affidavit detailing the 2 AM Saturday arrest continued. Frye faces faces felony charges of eluding – speed 25 mph over the limit – second or subsequent, second-degree theft, and two charges of possession of a controlled substance – third or subsequent offense; and a serious misdemeanor charge of operating while under the inference – first offense on top of two active warrants in Illinois over unspecified matters. He’s due in court on April 15th.
