why you never follow drunk people

i was taking my girlfriend home after a splendid valentines when we noticed that the fellow in front of us either a) could not drive or b) was drunk...

dude turns off onto windy road (almost wrecks into a car) and my girlfriend says "lets follow him." i automatically think "no, this guy is drunk" but then we all know how powerful a womans suggestion can be...

long story short: i drive about 45-50 mph around a small corner with my stock bald 15"s, in order to catch up with the a-hole, and overcorrect a turn, then overcorrect my correction to that, and end up turning the car 90 degrees and in a small ditch.

$50 lesson; had to explain to my girlfriends mom why she was home 30 minutes late; my dad was the worst part of all...with his "ive lost a lot of friends" speech/yell, etc.

so i guess ill put my 17"s back on so that ill have some tread. its not worth trying to save a buck, you know. i pulled all of the dirt off the front end. like it never happened....

seems good; just bristles in the rims and the clump of dirt that was stuck where the foglights are. i still think $50 was steep for pulling me out 2 feet. didnt even put me on the road...haha. he said "you should be able to put her back on the road; just cut her left in reverse"

supply and demand, man.
