Never let your friends drive your car. Period.

I was a bit tipsy to drive tonight, so I gave my keys to my buddy. But before I could tell him that reverse was up and to the left, you guessed it . . he almost slammed my car in through a brick wall. Then the car bucking back and forth through 1st & 2nd gears, holy shit man . . . that's it- get the fuck out of the driver's seat, I don't care how drunk I am . . . fucking idiot!

Dudesky, I gotta agree, I let a friend of mine drive my car not long ago cause i too was drinking, he said he knew how to drive a stick but it was like his 1st time actually doing it or something like that I was just thankful that it was a short drive. Never again will I let it happen and my short list of people who i will let drive my car gets even shorter.

Wow. That would have really upset me!

**Rooz** · 12-18-2005, 10:47 PM

that would be me, beating the crap out of somebody, lol

**Longhairedhippy** · 12-18-2005, 11:25 PM

the solution is to get another car with an automatic. that way, when you get drunk, your friends can drive you home without disturbing your stupor.

**xsperf** · 12-18-2005, 11:37 PM

**Numark318i** · 12-19-2005, 12:40 AM

i would be pissed.
Never been in that situation, although plently of girls have coaxed me into letting them drive my car..they can never firgure out my reverse.

Dsky, next time going out for some "cheer", make someone else drive. Not only less risk of "Freindisous Ignoramous Dysfuctionationailty" you have less risk of "ticket le DUI sky"

Be safe bro.

You can employ a technique we used quite often when I was in the Service, the TEAM method. We would sometimes use this when driving, eating, smoking, drinking all at the same time. Simply put, one guy steers/gas the other shifts. With a little communication and practice, this actually works well, as long as you can shift with your left hand like our brothers across the pond. And this was with a beat-up FIAT wagon, the ZF tranny would be a breeze!

For me, the only good thing about being in a tank is that it ain't walkin'.
