A little New Years advice - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey all,

With the coming of the new year, I'm sure many of us will find ourselves enjoying the night with friends, family, and some alcohol. We should all be sure that we either sleep where we drink, have a DD, or use public transit. For any of us without these options available, AAA offers a tipsy tow service. This offers people a free 10-15 mile tow (my area is 15, but others are 10), and a ride along for the driver and one other passenger. To get the the number simply google 'tipsy tow' plus your city of residence will bring it up in a jiffy.

I know I'll be crashing where I'm partying tonight, but I just wanted to pop on here and give this information out. Lets start the new year with ourselves and our cars in tact!!

Have a happy New Year, I'm interested to see what this year brings our beloved twins.

Sure glad I don't still drink. Would hate to screw up the nicest vehicle I've ever owned.

Definitely a good post. I am fortunate to have a wife that rarely ever drinks. Anyone who bought these cars obviously loves driving and it is completely illogical to do something that would jeopardize your enjoyment of said vehicle. I know some will say you shouldn't drink and drive because you are jeopardizing others - this may be true, but, I have more faith in people's self interest than them having the interests of others in mind (unless you are thinking of anyone close to you).
On the topic of drinking, we should also be cautious of driving the next day after a night of drinking because you may still be over the limit (especially here in Ontario, Canada (legal limit here is 0.05 BHL)). I have a friend who blew over the next day after a night of drinking and this resulted in an immediate roadside license suspension. He has since got it back, but, now he is being raped by his insurance company. Drinking and driving can be a costly mistake (in more ways than one).

Felt this was appropriate after Demandred's post.

Partied a little heavy last night but followed some good advice. I took a cab home. Now I wake up today and find this cab in my garage and I have no idea where I got it.
