$13,000 according to one source. In TX, that's more than 8 times what it takes to make the property damage alone a felony.

Back when I drove a station wagon, I used to have a lot of fun baiting the people that just had to pass the ungainly car. Lured them into tight curves, rough roads, and occasionally well-patrolled school zones. Nothing says "you're an idiot" like racing a station wagon at 60+ in a 40 zone then watching it drop anchor as you fly into a 20 school zone in front of a cop.
