I don't have a problem. I was making a point from the tough side and the truth hurts, that being you should never get into a position to have to turn your keys over to someone else. There's no hating going on, just cold hard truth. Your friend screwed up royally and now you are having to suffer for it. Your friend would have never had the opportunity to screw up if you hadn't been drinking at the wrong time in the wrong place.

I agree it's best you didn't drive it yourself, for those who thought I was implying you should have driven that is totally wrong. You should never drive after drinking and you should also never have your car away from home when drinking.

/\/\/\ That is just plane retarded. No one can predict something like this is gunna happen. He took good precautions in giving his friend the keys after he had a few drinks. Who here has never given up their keys when they got drunk. I know I have countless times. And when it's time to go, one of my sober friends will drive me home in my car. I mean you don't really get much more responsible than that. Sure he coulda done things differently, but you can always critique anything when somethin went wrong, because u can always find sumthing that they coulda done differently that would have made things turn out better. But to call him irresponsible for what he did is just dumb. Sure he COULDA got a cab there and back, or he COULDA took the friends car. But they didn't, they took his car, he got drunk, and so he gave the keys to a trusted friend. and everything will prolly work out ok in the end for him hopefully, good luck again man.

If all you guys can do is compliment and cheer because the keys were handed to someone who supposedly wasn't drinking then more power to you. That narrow focus is all well and good but ignores the bigger picture.

I'm the bad guy because I'm looking at the big picture. News flash: life is the big picture.

Everyone is so busy coming up with the "good side" of the keys getting handed to the "responsible friend" instead of the drunk driving home himself. Everyone is so busy feeling sorry for the drunk and his car getting crashed they can't see or say anything about not getting in that position in the first place.

Most everyone is probably taking the position they are taking because they have been and will be again in the future in the same drunk position. Nobody wants to say anything bad about getting too drunk to drive home because they do it too. Heck, even the smilies are waving their beer mugs around.

The truth hurts. The truth is the car owner drank too much when the car wasn't at home put away and then handed the keys over to someone. The person who got the keys was "supposed to be" in a condition to drive and trustworthy. Somewhere in here it says the road was "like a rally road" and the car raked a side along a tree. Sounds like the friend wasn't in a condition to drive or wasn't trustworthy or both.

OK, bash me some more for telling it like it is.

...he's going to keep posting until we tell him he's right.

Soooo... You're right LDB, he's the dumbest person on the planet!

You happy now?

Man, you did the right thing, I too have given up my keys when to drunk to drive. Hindsight is 20/20...

Also, if a bull had his eyes in his ***, he'd **** his brains out...

LDB, theres such things as ACCIDENTS. If both of my friends were drunk i wouldn't ahve driven or even handed over the keys. He handed the keys ebcause he felt his friend was in decent condition to drive, the power surge could have easily got to him, and his friend who he knows and can tell hes a decent driver COULD have just taken a corner to fast, the power of an EVO gets to people, especially when sober, people just feel safe in the car, and want to push it more. The kid probably couldn't handle the cars power and ****ed up. COULD HAVe...you seem to assume his friend was also 100% drunk and thats the only possible way it went.......look at the BIG PICTURE a million complications could have happened, theres no sense in flaming someone because YOUR VIEW is different than what we see it as.

You dont know what happened, therefore have no use commenting, except to help the kid with any tips on getting his friend to cover the car.

LDB,your logic is that of a neandrothal, ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, you can't prevent them all. You always could have taken a different path in any decision. **** happens sometimes, his number came up. it sux but life goes on. he should have no regrets in what he did. He took precautions, but some unexpected event happend called an ACCIDENT. i think ur big picture u speak of needs to be a little better thought out man.

Here is LBD's problem - he thinks that EVERYONE should know or has to know how to drive an evo....i thought my friend one time could drive my evo...but u know what he did...then a second time i let him drive, and guess what he kept stalling.... Humans are not perfect...no one is

- i feel sorry for him cuz he lost his car
- i feel sorry for his friend cuz i know his friend's feeling like ****...
- it was a good thing he gave up the keys and NOT attempt to drive
- it was a bad thing to even get in that possition where he'd have to give up the keys
- he has a good friend for tryin to keep it as safe as possible
- i don't think it's right how ldb went about it, but he has truth to his "preaching"
- hope you get your car back and running fast
- n e friend of joels, is probably cool enough for me to talk to... J/K lol, you're a groovy guy lol
