What a horrible day. So I'm on summer break at my summer home with some buddies that are off school too and we were working on my Laser. So I had an extra set of rims sitting around. They were stock steels from back in the day and they were tire-less. So I got the idea to put them on and drive around the neighborhood. Now, at this point I had a lot to drink which was really stupid on my part but hey, it happens. Right? I mean, they give out a million DUI's a year for a reason.
So anyways, I made it down the street and I drifted into a big parking lot of a plaza and headed toward the back of the plaza. As I started to ease into the turn the car started to slide on the rims. I kicked it sideways and drift slided out of it. It was amazing at first but as I picked up speed I saw some kids on bikes so I tried to stop and I hit a parked semi that was unloading.
My passenger side is wasted. Fender, door, glass, windshield, and front core support is all bent up. My fuse box broke apart and wires shorted I think because the car won't start now. I tried to take off before the cops showed up but no such luck. Man, I wasn't thinking.
It was pretty hard to explain to the trucker and the workers on the dock why I didn't have tires. They didn't get how much fun it was, then the cop was really, really bad. What made it worst is that I have my CCW permit and I had my gun on me. I always carry except when I drink. But since it was early in the day and still light out it never struck me that it was in my waist band.
Long story short the cop nearly beat me as he arrested me and I got a laundry list of charges. This isn't going to be pretty. To top it off I think my girl took the kids and went back to her mom's. Hope this isn't for good this time.
Anyways, I'll keep you guys posted. I just got home so I'm going to try and get some sleep then try to get my car back tomorrow. Looks like I'll be hitting up the classifieds. Gotta have the car back and fixed for the shootout.
