Tomas Rivera, 51, of upstate Port Jervis, tied a chain from his head to a pole, then hit the gas on his 2005 Honda CRV in Hunts Point.

He gunned it at 9:35 a.m., slamming into a parked vehicle on Longfellow Ave. near Randall Ave., police said. He was decapitated and died at the scene.

With all respect to the deceased, I admire anyone who is able to achieve this level of panache.

If I were ever inclined to check out (not that I have any such inclinations at the moment) I would have a hard time deciding between guillotine or perhaps being drawn and quartered.
