drinking and crashing
It may not be an ls1 but my buddie trashed his 97 dakota 360 5-speed the other day after a night of drinking, shooting pool,& talking **** about each others cars. it's not uncommon for any of us in our little group to have a few beers and drive home but this just goes to show that sooner or later it will catch up to you. Just thought I would share this with you guys since noone was talking about anything worth a ****.

My mom almost lost her life in an accident involving her, the driver she was with, and a train. The driver damn near walked away. My mom, on the other hand, died twice in ICU, almost lost a leg, and lives with metal rods in her arms and legs. Took her half a year to learn to walk again.
I guess you can see where I stand on that issue.

i learned my lesson back when i was 18. i bought the SS after i graduated high school and had it only for 3 months until i went out drinking one night. it pissed me off so much. i was getting some tacos at jack b4 going home and i was pulling out of the drive through getting on the main road and i decided to light my tires up. before i went to the parking lot to eat. i lit em up, busted a 270 and started in the driection of where some kids were standing. i freaked out cause i didnt want to hit them and i over corrected a whole 180 degrees the opposite direction and was headed straight for a building across the street. i slammed on the brakes but it was too late i slammed up the curb and into the brick side of the building. i was like fffffffffffffuck. i got out of the car and kicked the front end and all the kids came over to see what happened and asked if i had been drinking. i said yes so then i chucked my beer over this fence next to jack and hauled *** out of there leaving my car behind. i was 400 yards away before the cops showed up. i felt i would get a hit and run felony if i didnt go back so i went back to see if i could talk my way out of it. didnt work and they hauled me to the drunk tank down town san jose for the night. it royally sucked. after that i never drink and drive cause it screwed up my life for a while. i had the funest times in the car when i was shitfaced and maching it around everywhere. im glad i learned my lesson w/o killing myself or anyone else.

Cars do seem to be funner when you got a buzz especially when your smokin, I lost my 94 Z-28 to a bottle of Jack Danials it sucked sooooo bad I'm lucky that's all I lost. I'm still paying for it though @ 165.00 a month for insurance! It's a small price to pay considering what all I could have lost. My girlfriend/wife/ex-wife was riding with me and if I would have lost her I would never have my little girl which I love more than any car on earth. moral of the story = don't be stupid.

Your friend should consider himself lucky.I have had 5 people close to me killed by drunks in the last 13 yrs.All innocent people victimized by irresponsible drinkers.We a had a case in Ohio where two drunks went left of center and killed each other,poetic justice IMO.If just one person does'nt drink and drive due to your post it will be a positive.
