It's true.

We only blast people for posting stuff like this because we care. About you and others around you.

I lost a very good friend to a car accident (granted, no drink was involved) and it still hurts to this day. We just don't want a jammer to do the same thing to someone else or to total themselves... hence my point that there is enough carnage on the road without people drink driving and thinking they'll be ok.

Please, please think before you act.

You weren't called a piece of shit. You need to read both parts of that sentence. You are a POS for getting behind the wheel. Harsh words, but true. Anyone is a POS for driving drunk.

You seem to be posting looking for validation of your actions which you KNOW were stupid and wrong. Hey, you got away with it. Great. We all have at some point. Some day you might not. Or worse yet, some day someone else will pay the consequences for your actions. I was underage and invincible once, too. I am glad nothing bad happened. Take a good look at your actions and ask yourself if it is really worth it to do that sort of stuff.

I'm sorry man, but there's nothing you can say here that is going to "win" the argument in your favor. What you did was dumb, you got away with it, and then for some reason you posted here. You deserve what others are saying to/about you. You can't post, saying you got away with drunk driving, and expect people to hi-5 you. I mean, c'mon man...

Thanks. Exactly. Every kid goes through problems, some have it easier then me, some have it worse. I didn't see the big fuss about it, but I do now. Thanks for calling me a lovely guy btw haha. And ya, this definately wasn't the thread to prove my "loveliness".

Oh and my friends older bro does coke too. He knows I would never touch that stuff. He totally cool with it and actually told me that he likes me cuz im different then my other friends. (my other freinds dont do coke either)

for getting behind the wheel after drinking? absolutely. i have said the same thing to friends of mine. they are a piece of shit if they get behind the wheel if they had a drink.

you said you felt like crap, and well you should.

the fact that you are arguing with people makes me feel like this is a joke for you...posting the story. did you just make it up to get a rise out of people and then argue with them? i hope you did, because not knowing better than to not drink and drive is inexcusable.

muppet

Im 19, (going to be 20 in less than 2 months) this is what kids my age do.

No we don't.

I know you're getting a lot of shit for this, but what did you expect?

Of course.... but the thing is about teenagers, is that they don't like listening to people who say "your a piece of shit for this" or "idiot" or "fucking dumbass". Kids don't lsten to people who give advice like that. You dont have to call someone a stupid piece of shit or whatever to get your point across. I listen when people are calm about things.

you'd be surprised how many of them would have extra respect for you for not drinking and . People often think something's just normal... but people usually do it just cos of peer pressure.

Like I said though, if that cop had been to the scene of an accident cos of drink, he could have really had it in for you. There are plenty of reasons not to do it, that's just one ofthem

a 19 year old driving a Porsche? ...sounds like a lot of people have it worse than you do

I guess my point is that even on ONE drink, your body just relaxes and you lose the sharpness that you would have sober. Even if you're not at fault for an accident, you could just get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. That could be another car that you dont notice hitting you, or getting hit when going round a bend , or running a red light.

It's incredibly easy to fuck everything up for yourself by doing it. Im 23, not much older than you. I did bad things on booze too, but I would never tolerate anyone saying drink driving was ok, regardless of how many people do it. Funny thing is the only people i knew who did that were my age are now dead.

They were nice guys too you know.

saturnal- I hang out with car guys. I own a Porsche (a pretty slow 4 cylinder 944) But still, its a porsche. I like cars, Im a guy. The only time I street race is when Im around them. I NEVER pick races when I'm alone. I dont even like street racing honestly. I have probably raced (only my freinds, never any strangers) 5 times after driving for 2 years.

I know I sound like a total old grump, but it's just a bad idea to drive after having that much alcohol, man (even if it was over a long period of time). If you like cars, you don't wanna lose your license to drive em...that right there should be enough reason not to drive drunk and risk gettin' a DUI or crashing yer 944 (which is a tasty ride btw).

And now I'm gonna sound REALLY old and grumpin', but street racing is for idiots, dewd. Get some friends who can introduce you to somethin' that's constructive and good for ya.

My car was $7500 and is a 1989. Im not a rich kid exactly. I only brought up the car I drive to prove a point that Im a car guy. I hate telling people what car I drive. Bragging is lame.

Anyway. My friend actually drove home drunk a few months back and slammed into a parked car about 300 ft from his own house. It was about a 3 block drive from my other friends house. Luckily the owner of the car didnt care (WTF) and he got points dropped. He was driving home drunk. I have never drove home drunk before. I know the same shit could happen, but when I drive home from drinking Im always either just buzzed or basically sober. (feel completely sober but probably still have the tiniest bit left in my blood)

Dude!!! THIS happened and you STILL drove home under the influence of alcohol?! :(

AND you've street raced 5 times in two years?! :eek: 5 times is too many!! Please don't tell me you care so little for others that all of this advice ISN'T going to sink in? :(

Thing is there've been nights when as far as I was concerned I was completely sober... but other people told me I was hammered . We're not always able to judge our own sobriety

I know street racing is dumb. You have no idea how many times I denied people from racing me. They tell me "you have a porsche and you call yourself a car guy?" I usually tell them I also play the drums, which is a much bigger passion in my life. I dont care about racing, but at the same time I do rip on my car by myself every once in awhile. If you own a car like that, you gotta enjoy it sometimes.

when they say that... just reply 'yep, I'm a car guy, I love cars,yep I have a porsche... I don't wanna fuckin ruin it... would YOU if you had a porsche?' and look down on them and walk off

The car racing thing makes me angry though... you've no idea how many young guys are killed in my home town (population approx. 1000) seems to be one or two every few months... from racing! I'm not gonna give out to ya cos that's not gonna help but please please stop being a boy racer. It's not cool to anyone only teenage boys.

Ive street raced 5 times and probably enjoyed 2 of them. Most of the time I race its complete peer pressure, that or Im driving with my friends to a place I dont know of, and then they start speeding, forcing me to speed.

Its annoying as hell.

at least you admit it's peer pressure though that's a start. You already have a porsche though, you'd be so much cooler though if you told them to fuck off and grow up

When I said "but i do race around sometimes by myself, you gotta enjoy it if you have a car like that"

I meant I floor it or take it around a nice turn, not actually racing another person. I edited the post.

And there we have it - the reality of this whole story. Call it feeling 'buzzed' or whatever you like, but that buzz comes from the fact that you have been drinking. Most people won't experience a 'buzz' from one drink, and here in the UK (and I'm sure it's probably the same in the US) you aren't allowed more than one standard drink if you are driving. Thus any 'buzz' is a clear indicator that you are still under the influence.

I can barely fathom the absolute selfishness of people who drink drive. What's wrong with people taking it in turns to drive, or getting a taxi?

Here, here!!

You're too young to fuck it all up and end up paralysed or dead for the sake of a street race or a beer. Enjoy and embrace what you have and tell them all to fuck off!
