I think the op assumed that the same people who care about thier cars are the same people who drive thier cars drunk......one cannot assume that, maybe he should have asked a question or posed a hypothetical before ranting on something he has assumed.....I find it odd also that the op stated he does not drink, good for you, but there are those of us who do and are responsible when we do it so if you want to get on your soapbox MADD has a good website......I have never driven my car "drunk" and never will, when i did total my Z i was completely sober, does that mean that people should not drive sober, what is the accident ratio between drunk accidents and sober accidents, maybe we shouldn't be driving sober??????????

Wow and I'm a better surgeon when I'm high because I"m more afraid of being sued for malpractice. That is the lamest most irrisponisble thing I've heard in a while.
Its people like you who kill people and then get charged with vehicular manslaughter and end up with a year or two max in prison.
Sadly because we live in a free country and not a dictatorship we can't just lynch drunk drivers on the spot.
I've driven drunk before. But guess what I learned my lesson real fast not because I hit anyone or got in trouble but I was like "hey this is ****ing stupid" and I was 16 then. Sad how grown men and women are to selfish and stupid to realize this.
If it was up to me we'd send all drunk drivers to Zaidon, or Haditha with a sign saying "I hate Muslims" unarmed so they could be slaughtered

Either way its not like he said drinking was bad or anyone in particular was bad.
He actually hit it right on the head about most people who'll flame him are the ones who might or still do it. Note I said maybe.

Oh, and drunk Z driver count = 3

i feel that myself including others feel they are capable of driving safely while intoxicated. this is different from what your saying, if anything happens at our fault then we could have been more careful, but things like dings and scratches are the faults of others and thats why we get mad.

Silly me to think drinking and driving is dumb. Although I know having a few drinks doesn't do anything I'm refering to people who get drunk and then drive like when you start to forget whether or not fat girls are hot or not lol

Here's the overriding point, folks. Driving drunk is stupid, we can all agree on that (with the exception of those here who "claim" that they are better drivers when drunk) but I find it amusing that the same people who post about swirl marks, dings, strange noises from the chassis, et. al., are sometimes the same people who post about how they get wasted and drive themselves around in their Z. Doesn't anyone see the inherent contradiction in that? Dings, scratches, chassis noises = Z still driveable, driving Z drunk = risk of totalling the Z. If these people cared as much about their Z as they claim, they wouldn't risk it by driving drunk (besides the fact that they could kill themselves or someone else, of course).
To me, if you risk destroying your Z by driving drunk, you've lost the right to complain about swirl marks, people parking too close, dings, etc.

Those that do a "once over" or park far away are seeing if others have messed up their car. If you drive drunk its your own fault and you have no one to blame but yourself if you crash, but if someone dings my door its their fault and im screwed.
I see where your coming from but how is that hypocritical?
