Good to hear they are ok, but I question whether he'll learn from this.

I have no sympathy for drunks who drive. In my eyes I hope he gets bent over with a huge lawsuit.

I don't think it can be said enough, don't drink and drive. Too many things can go wrong too fast. Even a little alcohol in your system can slow your reactions and impair your judgement and vision just enough to create permanent consequences for innocent people.

I'm sure your friend will be punished. I hope he learns a lesson from this. I am just glad that no innocent person was injured or killed.

Too bad the Vette ended up paying for his stupidity!
At least he's making new friends in jail!

When he gets out of the hospital, hope he goes to another room - a very small room for 30 days or so. Mostly concrete and a tiny window and - with a bunkmate who has a bad case of over active testerone.

Absolutely NO pity for DUI's. One of my most worn out soapboxes I've stood on for years....

Glad everyone survived. I don't think he would get much sympathy from anyone here. Drunk driving has left its mark on more than enough people on this forum.

Won't drive any of my cars after I've been drinking. S/O and me have an agreement, one of us is the DD.
