You're lucky you didn't roll that thing... :sweat:

Very lucky because I had my 10 yr old cuzn in the back seat of the car :sweat: He said it was fun and that I was hitting 81mph before going into the turn :shocked:

@Suburu: Ya, too bad you didn't have a camera on you, that would've been cool to see :mrgreen:

i've rolled a car... not fun. :bleh:

Didja see the one last night: idiot kid was drunk. Rolled the car down a hill... Ejected the two rear passengers, killing them instantly. :shakehead:

My guess is they didn't have their seat belts fastened. :shakehead:

Dumb kid :beatyou:
I hate hearing news about kids being drunk or doing something stupid in a car (yet I do stupid things when I'm not even drunk).
My friend said she going to get drunk off her ass at her friend's b-day this friday. I hope nothing bad happens :fingerscrossed:

Yup, they didn't.

If the driver survives, he'll be charged with two counts of manslaughter.

This is where a DD (designated driver) would be very useful. Reaction times slow while impaired (I know just from walking).

I won't as long as she doesn't drive.

"Friends don't let friends drive drunk..."

I'll extend that to say... "....or tipsy." The mind may be sober, but the muscles are slower.

Good point.

It's not related to cars, but after downing a few drinks, my wife and I were eating a late snack. I was reaching to get the salt and pepper and saw that I was going to knock over a glass of water. I knew I should move, but my arm was late in getting the message....The result? Splash. :ashamed:

Let that be a lesson: You may think you are capable of driving..but capablilty and ability are two different words.

Yup, that seems to get a lotta people in trouble.

Driving drunk is uncool and dangerous, but I can't say I've never done it before :banghead: When driving it really does feel like you are doing fine and being careful, so I'm never doing that crap AGAIN.

In other news, my supervisor commented to me the other day about my driving. We both left at the same time one day. We apparently both got on I-95 North. I didn't know we had. Traffic wasn't bad and I got into the fast lane. I got home pretty quickly because it was a smooth drive. And damnit, it's 95, speed limits are for losers on 95 :hehe:

The next day we both left at the same time again and he drove by me with the window open and said "See ya, ______", and I said "Ok see ya". He stopped and said "Wait! I had something to tell you! You are a speed demon when you drive!!!!". I chuckled and said "Yeah, but that's in my car! 26 miles to get home, I take the opportunity to 'follow the traffic flow'". He said, "Did you see me on 95? I saw you get in the fast lane and you were GONE, you were flying. MY GOD BE CAREFUL GOING HOME!". I was like "Hehehe okay". Whoops. :victory:
