- - EF'ing drunk drivers! (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=448136)

damn Red, that's horrible. My prayers go out to the family.

When I first moved back to Houston almost 20 years ago, I didn't have any drinking buddies. I did have some "partying" friends from high school so I hung out with them. I'd hang out at their place til about 2am drinking Cokes, smoking that wacky weed, and playing video games. I couldn't believe the number of drunk drivers I encountered on the way home every weekend. I guess when you're one of them you don't see it :(

I was having dinner with a friend, had some drinks and while driving home it started raining. It was about 8:30pm in December of ‘06 and I was making a right turn from Powell onto Broadway. I accelerated in second gear and immediately realized I still had my summer tires on. I was going about 55mph and hydroplaned to the left and smacked my right rear fender super hard into the center column at the base of the tunnel. The airbags deployed, the seatbelt held but I crushed my right hip into the belt attachment so hard that it left a bruise the size of a toaster! My friend and I decided to make a run for it since I would have gone directly to jail with a DUI. The problem was that the car was blocking the traffic into the tunnel and cars behind me were starting to honk. It eventually got towed. I made it home and Phat Kat was hanging out listening to some music. He said Man, you guys got enough money to just leave a Porsche on the road?!” Well, no, but I had full coverage so I was okay. Thanks AAA!!! I’ll post up what I got with the insurance money later.

As much as I would like to know who the person is to thoroughly thrash him over the Internet, it might be better if we don't know.

Know this, Mr. Blog writer. If you would have been in my city and done that, the police would have been the least of your concerns, you stupid mother*&^%$.:mad:
