Unhappy Another death in the family

Me and a friend went to go help celebrate his cuz's 21st, on the way back, mind you an hour and change drive, less than 2 miles from my house he lost control jumped the median twice, spun around a couple times and landed on the median. He was the DD and was completely sober, maybe 3 beers the whole nite. Thankfully no other cars involved and nobody was hurt. End result, Stillen bumper ripped apart, left front rim shattered, right front tire off the rim, all sorts of scratches all around, dont even know what the under carraige looks like, rear alignment is all jacked, one side sits higher than the other off the rim, front alignment should be nice and tweaked. And the icing on the cake, April 2nd I'm getting transferred to FL. Dunno yet if its repairable, updates and pics to follow.

How did he "lose control?"

A DD does NOT drink.

I'm glad that he didn't kill or injure anyone outside of your car.

The thread title is misleading.
I would prefer that the driver had written this post.
Why not wait until you have photos to post?

But besides that, glad to hear everyone in the car is OK.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees something wrong with this. Used to be that a designated driver had NO beers.

Well the average human body takes 1 hour to burn off a standard drink, i.e. 1 beer, 1 shot etc... an average sized male can have 2-3 drinks within 1 hour before reaching a BAC of .08. 3 beers over a 4 hour period, I'd say he was good to drive, He only drove to and from, we had rides in between. Sorry bout the title, yes thankfully nobody hurt. I'm not trying to defend him only clarify facts.

To who asked it was an 03 DB Z wit FL plate Nismo spoiler <(the only thing exterior that came out undamaged) and Stillen front bumper and 20" chrome ADR Sterlings. I live in the Rivera Beach area of Pasadena

edit: last drink was about 45 min before we left, would've have been longer but I was tired and said lets go.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident.
My DD's are allowed to have a few...
A DD isent always stone cold sober,... atleast not around here....

This thread makes me think of that radio commercial on the US stations.... ""Buzz driving IS Drunkdriving".....

3 beers over the course of a couple hours is not a big deal and is completely acceptable for a DD, that wont even land you a DUI/Reckless Driving with the five O....
