The radio calls went out at 7:45 a.m. yesterday asking Boston police officers to look out for two white limousines repeatedly smashing into each other during a violent chase through lower Dorchester.

Police said the man, Wayne Gethers, 38, of Roxbury, told them he had parked at 20 Ripley Road, and was ''enjoying the company of an unidentified female" in the back seat when his wife drove up in another limo the couple owns together. Wayne Gethers's four children were riding in the limo with his wife, police said.

That's when Yvesnane Gethers, 27, of Norwich, Conn., became enraged and slammed her limo into her husband's limo several times before Wayne Gethers tried to escape, said Boston police spokesman John Boyle. When Wayne Gethers drove off, his wife followed, ramming him at least five to seven times during a pursuit that reached speeds of 40 to 50 miles per hour, police reported.

5. Yeah, because racing through city streets repeatedly ramming the

other 7000 pound car is always best with 4 kids in the back :eyes:

Too bad they'll split, they were clearly meant for each other.

7. Too bad they have four kids!

Forced sterilization is looking pretty good about now.

whether and intelligence and responsibility test ought to be required before some folks were allowed to reproduce.
