2. That was ridiculous!
I am glad that it appears nobody was hurt.

3. What on earth is wrong with someone
who knows they are obviously far far too gone to be driving and gets behind the wheel anyway.

I had a friend a few years ago who's car, I noticed one morning, had two new racing stripes carved into each side. I asked him, "What happened?" He said he didn't really remember except he knew he hit the retaining wall on each side of the interstate.

I told the asshole he needed to get help and he's lucky he didn't hurt anyone.

4. The best solution is to not drink.
I've somehow avoided it for 10 years.

5. Thanks for the pics. I'd posted this story a few days ago, without pics.

6. I totally understand
Currently, I'm without a license until December because of a DUI. I knew I couldn't drive. Those with me insisted I could insisted I could and put me in my car. I ended up fucking up my front spoiler on a railroad track. I was arrested. I'll never be able to drive that car again. I fucking loved that car. It was my baby. She was named Gwyneth. After my DUI, I will barely be able to afford insurance on a shit car (I'm in NJ). I will never be able to afford insurance on an almost brand-new Saab 9-3 sport sedan fully loaded. It sucks. The saab was way above my status anyway. I got it through the life insurance when my father died. I guess I was kind of sick explaining to people how I only made about $15,000 annually anyway. I was always assumed to be some spoiled kid because I was driving a $33,000 car. I'm not spoiled and I work my fucking ass off but people assume things because of the car. It's my mother's now anyway. Eh...I'm so bitter about drunk driving...and I can never respect those that put me in my car and told me to drive. They cost me so much....

8. No, you may not be a spoiled kid,
But I guarantee future heartaches in your life. As long as you continue to blame others, you will continue to fuck up. I guarantee it.

You drove drunk. You got caught. You fucked up. Own it and move on.
