Won't even bother putting this in OT 'cause they'll just say "good riddance".

Happened to a C5 buddy of mine the other night. Everyone involved will apparently be alright physically.

Went up like a match head.

Fortuneatly everyone will live to tell the story.

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.

Wow! Glad everyone survived that! It really should be a definate message of the dangers of drinking and driving.

On a side note, what is scary is the car torched like that and the one thing that appears to have survived the best were the wagon wheels! With all that's bad about them at least they seem to be fire proof!

Kinda glad to see him lose his vette if he is going to make a decision like that.

Glad all was ok, A friend of yours, I couldn't post this if he was a friend of mine, At least wouldn't claim I know him. Drunk driving isn't a game.

These cars are too much of a temptation stone sober, add booze to the mix, and you end up making some poor decisions.
