Mom accused of putting kids, ages 3 and 5, in Corvette trunk

Yahoooooooo link

"A Pennsylvania mother is accused of stuffing her children, ages 3 and 5, into the trunk of a red Corvette and then driving around town.

Hanover Borough Police pulled over the two-seat sports car on July 10 after getting a 911 call from a person who saw someone placing two children in the car's trunk.

Authorities say the mother, 29-year-old Jessica Reger, was in the passenger seat."

I need more info. Like what year Vette? Why is she smiling so big? Were the children also smiling?? ("Woo hoo Corvette!")

I'm shocked, shocked, she has both knuckle tattoos, and a neck tattoo.

What are we calling a trunk? I rode to Michigan and back in the hatch of a chevette. I'm guessing that today my folks would have been locked up. I loved it

Mom in passenger seat, kids in "trunk". Who the berkeley was driving?

Was it a C3, C4, C5, C6 or C7? It matters.

Judging from the mug shot, I'mm guessing C4, the tape deck probably had a Poison tape in it too.

While it's illegal to transport kids in a car without them being being belted into approved child seats, it's not illegal to let your kids ride the back of your superbike. So next time this mom will take the her kids out on the Hayabusa instead of the Vette. Because safety.

It might have, but it had long ago stripped the tape out and jammed up the mechanisms.

Lol I work in Hanover. I'll have to keep an eye out for this one, sounds like my kind of lady (kidding of course)

Yeah, all of us above 30 would have had parents doing hard time today.

You would think America of the eighties and earlier was like Mogadishu or something.

Ilena Blackburn, apparently. Who the hell that is in relation to the mother, I have no idea.

And there is a 100% chance this was a C4.

Don't stick your hootus in crazy. Apparently it's happened at least twice with this one.

I think the record was three of us in the back of a 240Z. And sad to say, but back in the late 60's for a young exec climbing the corporate ladder, I suspect drinking and driving was more of a skill than a crime.

In today's world my parents would be put on death row for giving me a memorable childhood.

I would have killed to ride in the back of a Corvette as a 5 year old.

She seems nice.

My favorite little kid "seat" was the space behind the rear seat, right on top of the engine under the tapered rear glass in my grandfather's Super Beetle. Or in the back of his F100, standing up, hands on the top of the cab with the wind in my face. I do not believe he was ever charged for his blatant serial negligence.

Growing up, I think I remember 7 in a Triumph Spitfire-- One adult in each seat, one child in passengers lap, one kid behind/between the seats, and three sitting on trunk with legs behind the seats

If only there were some sort of release handle that would have let them escape!

I have fond memories of riding in the back hatch area of my Mom's old C3 Corvette. And also in the wheelwell area of Dad's AMX. And the back cargo hold of Grandpa's wagon.

I mean, are we talking like a C5 Z06 trunk? Cause that's bad. But a C4 hatch area? Like yeah, car seats are safer, but what kid wouldn't want a ride around back there?

I once rode in the hatch area of a sweet 1988 IROC 350 to an amusement park. And I did so voluntarily. My 8-year old self didn't think twice!

Amy!?!

How is this any different than letting kids ride in the back of a truck. I did that crap all the time in my moms Mitsubishi Mighty Max.

If we're going that route.... I've been coast to coast in the same year in the bed of an Isuzu P'up diesel.

Pennsylvania, it's the new Florida!

It's amazing that any of us survive to this day...

That's got to be in the top ten happiest mug shots ever.
