After driving into the store, the male driver then fled on foot.

Junior A. Espinal, 32, has been charged with driving without a license, leaving the scene of an accident and failing to provide his information to the owner of the damaged property, according to the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office.

Using a description of the suspect, police searched the area and found Espinal. Espinal claimed that his car’s brake pedal stuck as he was driving up to the 7-Eleven.

No injuries were reported, police said.

There have also been no estimates on the amount of damage caused to either the car or store, or regarding what repairs will cost.

Photos from the scene show broken glass, some twisted metal, and scattered snacks knocked off racks. The back of the car looks virtually intact, but photos do not show the car’s front in order to estimate damage.

Automatic vehicles provide fewer options than manuals when accelerator and decelerator pedals become stuck. Additionally, drivers often panic when they do not receive an instantaneous response from pressing on their pedals.

Engine and transmission problems are among the most expensive types of auto repairs in the U.S.

Lombard, known as “The Lilac Village,” is a suburb located about 20 miles west of Chicago.

The number one moving destination in the country this summer turned out to be Chicago.

From May to August, which is generally the busiest part of the moving season, Chicago saw almost 47% more families moving in than it did moving out, though the city is still number six on the list for most outbound moves. Still, considerably more people were moving to the city than moving out, and it was still the most popular moving destination in the country.

Other Midwestern cities have seen similar population booms, like St. Louis and Minneapolis. Many of the new arrivals were millennials.

The survey showed that over 70% of families moving to top destination cities like Chicago, Washington, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Dallas, Phoenix and New York were doing so because of a corporate transfer or a new job.

Since Mayor Emanuel took office, 99 companies have opened offices in Chicago and 27 companies have opened corporate headquarters there. Site Selection magazine named Chicago the top corporate relocation metro in North America earlier this year, and the city gained over 5,800 residents in 2013, making it the third consecutive year of population growth for the Windy City after over 10 years of decline.

“United’s survey shows that our efforts to build the Chicago of tomorrow by investing in a diverse and highly educated workforce and recruitment of new businesses are having an impact,” Mayor Emanuel said in the announcement.

“Chicago’s population is growing, our tech and healthcare sectors are thriving, and we continue to build out our legacy of financial and professional service industries, all the while focusing resources on neighborhoods across the City to ensure that all Chicago residents have access to the benefits that this economic growth provides.”

The report cites the growing need for UPS services, which are driven by warehouses and, in turn, forklifts, around the globe. A possible challenge that could inhibit growth is the possibility of market explosion, which will inevitably lead to a significant decline shortly after, Whatech.com reports.

Lead-acid batteries are an attractive option to warehouse operators as a source of power for forklifts because the batteries, which contain lead electrodes in combination with diluted sulfuric acid that performs the role of an electrolyte, effectively generates about two volts per cell. Despite their low energy-to-weight and energy-to-volume ratios, lead-acid batteries supply a huge amount of power to keep forklifts mobile, the Whatech.com article states.

These batteries are also rechargeable — and if each battery is never allowed to run below 20% charge, the batteries can have a lifespan of up to five years, another attractive factor for warehouse operators.

The Global Industrial Lead Acid Battery Market study examined four distinct end-user sectors for lead-acid batteries: Industrial Forklift Trucks, Telecom, UPS, and Others, according to Whatech.com. The study also looked at the variances in usage throughout different global regions.

Bob Hattenhauer, like most people, was drawn to the effects of the movie. Unlike most people, however, this Jeep-enthusiast wasn’t attracted to the dinosaurs in the movie — he was looking at the four-wheeled automobiles.

“My first thought was I have to build a Jeep like those in the movie,” said Hattenhauer in an interview with the Daily Herald. Hattenhauer, who lives in Chicago, already had a Jeep, but he wanted to start the project with a new surface to work on. He was specifically aiming for a 1994 Wrangler, Sahara Edition, like the ones used in the movie. Sadly, most of the movie’s cars are no longer around — of the remaining two, one was refinished, and another is on display in Universal Studios.

Hattenhauer didn’t have a lot of money, as a mechanical engineering student, but he made it work. The car was cheap since it had been involved in a head-on collision. He poured his free time into overhauling the car and building it back up piece by piece, watching the movie multiple times to, as Hattenhauer says, “make sure the specs were right.”

Gearing up the Jeep to match the original involved multiple intricate tasks, including replacing all the gaskets and seals. Once the internal components of the Jeep were assembled, Hattenhauer went to work on re-creating the iconic outside of the vehicle. He painted red stripes on the side, added a CB radio antenna, fog lights, and the official graphics from the Jurassic Park movie. Drivers who want to replicate this non-permanently can use vinyl wraps, which often have the appearance of paint.

Hattenhauer finally finished the Jeep in March 2012, and it’s now an offloading vehicle he enjoys using. For several months, he used it for his daily commute, and the car even made an appearance at his wedding. Not surprisingly, the vehicle has gotten him a lot of attention wherever he goes.

“Everyone looks in the rearview mirror to see if a T-Rex is behind it,” jokes Hattenhauer about spectator reactions. Hattenhauer, as it turns out, isn’t the only hardcore enthusiast — online, the website JurassicJeep has documented three others who have converted, or are converting, Jeeps into Jurassic Jeeps.
