The Liberal Gun Club Forum

A drunk driver crashed into a tree in my front yard.
The driver was speeding when she lost control and jumped across the medium, two lanes and rolled across my yard. She was ejected out of the car and ended up on the roof of the garage.
She jumped down from there and started to walk away when someone stopped her.
The car stopped about a foot from the house but would have ended in my bedroom if that tree would not have been there.

One more picture

Holy shit!!!!! Is about the only thing I can say about this. Reminds me of my friend who has had this happen at his house and yard on three separate occasions.

That is exactly my reaction before I even saw your post Zapp! If I had been drinking I would have spit on my keyboard. When I was young our house and cars got tagged 2 times each in the span of 18 months. Needless to say, we moved ASAP.

I am glad that no one was seriously injured. Drunk drivers seem to be lucky bastards. Must be because they are so pliable and rubbery from the drunk. Hopefully she will be off the street for awhile.

HOLY SHITBALLS! I'm glad everyone's ok. Man, that just looks wrong!

I'd go buy a lottery ticket today. Could win a few bucks with the way your luck is right now after seeing that pic.

If you look at the first picture you can see a square mark on the tree.
That is where the bottom of the rear passenger door you see in the same picture hit the tree.

Wow, we prepare for many things, then and always the unexpected, wham.

Thrown from the car to the roof then tried to scamper away? Drunken stunt woman. Any pictures of her?

Got ya beat, several years ago at 2:30 am, I woke up to this, that's my living room

No pictures of her.
I was at work when this happened but from what I heard she was not hurt bad...Just bruises and scrapes.

You need some trees... That's what saved me.

We deployed some barrier rocks

The city owes us a guard rail.

Also, drunks are invulnerable. My guy walked away (or tried to before I suggested he sit the fuck down).

We live in a 3 story apartment building. One of our neighbors in the ground floor saw something similar happen to her. Guy in a truck accelerated and lost control, then drove from the parking lot through her apartment. The truck missed her by a few seconds, she was getting something from her kitchen or something like that.

Guy just walked away and I don't believe he was caught.

Crazy.

Crap! If some drunken moron did that to my house, I might just have to "rescue" him rather violently from his car

Many people asked me if I helped him to the hospital. Never occurred to me, honestly.

How in the hell did she survive that, damn.

Drunk people bounce.

Like I said, they're like fuck'n Gumby or something. All pliable and rubbery. My grandfather drank and he drove. He hit a tree as well, after jumping the curb and such. Not a scratch.

I recently tested that hypothesis.

Let's just say I have sufficient "proof" to say it doesn't have enough weight to become a theory.

Or maybe I'm just not rubbery enough...

Not drunk enough.

You might consider putting them steel posts in your front yard, to prevent cars from crashing into your house.

What, like tank traps? Make it look like Omaha Beach.

Or you weren't drunk enough. Tequila is good for enhancement of the body's rubber potential - I managed to fall through a second story window to the concrete sidewalk without a bruise or scratch. Such is the power of tequila, makes you invincible just before invisible.

A good argument fir seat belts.
