good moves there G.

wheel bearings arent that hard to replace.
Probably cost more for the tow and headlight.

Highlight of the story is my quick decision to bail and run. I'm talking full on sprint for a mile with a break to hide behind a tree from a cop at about 2AM.

Sucks cause I didn't drink that much but havent drank since like early november so it had a greater effect than I had expected.

I knew the bearings were bad but just paid 320 for an online class to finish my degree, and was going to get fixed up next week. Would have been 80 bucks for 4 bearings and probably 60-120 in labor from my mechanic.

Couldnt have the car towed to my regular mechanic because he lives on the same street as my boss.

Yeah instantly I remembered a story from my lawyer about a client who's kid took his car god drunk and crashed it, but got off because he just bailed and hid out at a friends for the night.

Having a lawyer for a friend ftw.

Thats my problem with alcohol, once I'm drunk I really have no capacity to make rational decisions. Which is why I'm retiring from drinking once and for all.

You need to make the smart decisions before you start drinking. Taking your car to a party where everyone is going to be drinking heavily is pretty stupid.

Roach

moderation my man...moderation.

everone turns into an asshole after a point where alcohol is concerned.

You'd be surprised how quickly you regain faculties in this type of scenario.

I have no memory of driving away. Glad I didn't take the interstate.

It was definitely a logical decision to run. I'm so fucking tired today. Squat day yesterday + drinking + running + adrenaline = fuck.

Makes me sad too scatter. Never realized I was the dumbest person I know until today.
