Another got damn idiot. Geez what a way to ruin a nice car and you got it free to boot? Geez.

Twisty road, mountain road, canyon road, rural b road rules:

1. Learn your roads by the back of your hand. Until you know them 100%, keep speed down.
2. Always keep a margin of error. Keep multiple tenths of margin of error just in case.
3. Ride or drive at your own ability. Don’t write checks your skills can’t cash.
4. Track days to gain these skills are absolutely necessary.
5. Practice panic braking every ride/drive. If that warps the rotors over time, so be it.

I’ve been doing felony riding/driving for decades with zero tickets, zero accidents. I run radar. I went out of my way to gain the experience, at the track, to do this type of pavement cornering. Yeah I’ve been down on my bikes, on the street, multiple times, when I was a rookie. And I’ve wadded a bike up 3 ways to Sunday doing over 100 mph on track. But get me on a back road I know, well, and I’m gone. Good luck keeping up. I’m always prepared to dodge a vehicle, loose animal (dog, cow, horse, name it), etc. Some people just don’t have enough sense to pour piss from a boot. Mountain roads with blind corners and elevation changes are nothing to me but man you have to get the experience first. And I’d never ride or drive anything under the influence. Good way to end up in jail like this clown, the ER, or the morgue.

My definition of a loser. Car crashed and will always have a rebuilt title if it can even be saved, his license will likely be suspended for some time, insurance won't cover the loss when you are drunk , future insurance premiums will be astronomical. Pretty dumb.

".....suspicion of driving under the influence as well as possession of a firearm while intoxicated." What a moron! He didn't deserve that car.

In our country you don't get insurance coverage if you are under the influence,
Did a quick search and found this
If you operate your vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol or if you allow an intoxicated person to operate your vehicle, your insurance company will not cover any damages and reserves the right to void your policy. Your injuries are not covered either.

You are doing “stupid crap”. You have a real issue with people doing things you don’t understand. You don’t have a got d f’in clue. You must have no life either if all you got is to try and pick a fight with someone on the internet.

Try learning something. This is from 1991, probably before you were born.

Quit being a douche on an enthusiast vehicle forum where real driving and riding are discussed. Not trips to the mall.
