Sleeping off being drunk in a car is one of the most utterly absurd DUI's I've ever heard of. "Oh hey I'm drunk and I shouldn't be driving, I'll be responsible and sleep it off" really should be congratulated not punished.

Elmnt80 posted:They want you to get popped and go to jail while being forced to pay them lots of money or just not drink at all. Pretty much. I stopped getting too drunk at bars when they started handing out dui's to people riding their bikes home from the bar because I always rode my bike. The only person you're gonna hurt on a bike is yourself so I don't see it as anything other than a cash grab.

You know you have a problem when you are price shopping between Amazon, RockAuto, and eBay (only semi-local, known users)- and don't even consider the local bricklin motor (see what I did thair?  ) shops unless you absolutely positively NEEED the part within the next few hours, because it isn't worth the extra expense, travel, and time generally required to return this already malfunctioning part. #firstworldshadetreeproblemsAlso, why won't RockAuto store spark plugs AND WIRES in the same drat warehouse?! They're always in A and B (except when they're in Europe).

Cut off when you have the right of way? Pedestrian crossing on a green light when you're going straight and they put their arm out for you to stop? Swerving to avoid catastrophe? Did this all happen in 1 day? Congratulations you're in Merced, CA!

Nodoze posted:Mine is wearing out in the normal spots so I haven't been putting it down as much lately Yeah mine's wore through at the driver's side latch and the passenger's side rear bar-thingy. Patched it with shoe-goo in both places, which works incredibly well and looks like rear end. Been meaning to budget to replace the top for a couple of years now, just haven't gotten around to it, and it doesn't leak.

Third, they'll try injections. Fourth, they'll burn the fuckers apart. It is quite uncomfortable for the first couple days (they said two weeks, but by the third day my pain was already less than that I was living with before) after an ablation, but it is well worth it.

I patched it with some vinyl from Joanne Fabrics and goop from advance. Its working alright I guess but the glue is not nearly as hot weather friendly as it claims and I had to put more on a few times. I'm planning on using my tax money for a new top in the spring

I was sent on a wild goose chase yesterday for two loving cat flange gaskets, Advance Auto near me didn't have them and sent me across town, guess what that one didn't have them either because the jackass at the first store didn't know the difference between ON ORDER and IN STOCK. After an hour driving around checking an Oreily's, NAPA and carquest with no luck I said gently caress it and re used the old gaskets and a shitload of rtv. It worked and I should have just done that in the first place instead of wasting time I'll never get back. I give up on these loving parts stores for anything other than dumping my used oil.

Pedestrians being hit by a drunk rider very much is a thing - plus there's the fact drunk people do tend to make bad decisions thence riding in front of a car and traumatizing a family for life is a thing. That said, I def consider riding a bicycle a viable Plan B and I'm dubious about cycling DUI's. And TBH operating a bike while poo poo faced drunk seems* to be a lot harder than a car so there's the fact the likelihood of a "Hmmm sir you seem to have blood in your alcohol system" kind of reading is smaller due to the fact you are probably just going to fall off before a few pedal strokes. *Not that I would know. I've only ever ridden / driven completely sober.

I remember when I did drivers' ed that they aggressively pushed the idea that even on a motorboat I could be popped for DUI. They repeated it over and over through that class session, and it was on the final test too. I feel like the instructor had some kind of dark past causing that to be brought up many times.

RECOMMEND ME A CAR GUYZ I think I want a w123 300D for my next daily driver. I commute 74 miles a day, all highway. My Comanche sucks for this task. I like old German poo poo and I can turn a wrench but I don't want to be working on it all the time. Talk me out of it, or don't.

It's pretty much impossible to ride once you're passed a certain point, but up until that point you're really not a danger to anyone, from my experience anyway. If you can still ride, you can balance and keep it in a straight line and make it home fine. For awhile the problem was cops waiting outside of bars and nabbing people a few blocks away, that's when I stopped. Buddy of mine went to court and argued his way out of one tho.

I don't get incredible gas mileage on my 86 (about 16 around town) but gently caress I enjoy driving it. (Ever tried researching a car's efficiency before test driving, only to find forum posts where people refuse to talk about mpg and instead keep saying "smiles per gallon"? Maybe not if you've never looked at old American cars, but yeah if you see "smiles per gallon" just read "single-digit mpg")

Florida fish and wildlife will give someone a breathalyzer if you just have bottles and cans rolling around in the footwell of your boat. Though the one time I might have gotten in trouble for it, I managed to escape getting given one (I'd had 3 beers in 5 hours or so. Not alot, but possibly still over legal limit). I pulled up to the docks where a pair of F&W officers are standing with 2 friends and 2 empty 18 packs full of empty cans at the front of my boat. The cops immediately want to know who was drinking. Me and the other dude point at the 3rd guy on the boat, who tries stepping from the boat onto the dock to shake the cops hand and falls flat on his face. He immediately yells "Oh holy poo poo who put the loving waves on dry land too". I think the cops may have just been amused enough to not care at that point, though they did get a good laugh at me failing 5 times in a row to put the boat on the trailer straight due to a broken runner and a strong current.
