    I wouldn't take that bet.... You know how many times I hear 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc drunk driving accident and somewhere in there a fatality. Even resort to driving without a license (and want you to feel sorry for them)

    There was a drunk driver out my way last year that killed 7 people on the interstate. He already had SEVERAL DUI's (i.e. maybe 4 or 5, I can't remember exactly) and was driving on a suspended license. Some people never learn til its too late....

    Who cares??? It's his own fault for being stupid and driving when he shouldn't have been!!!

    Sorry, but I have no pity for those that drink and drive.

    Neither do I. I was responding to eordenez's surprise that the insurance company of the driver would pay for a drunk's crash.

    Sorry, I wasn't trying to step on your toes.... I was just being a brat :D

    I'm tired of the drunks always walking away and getting little more than a slap on the wrist. This way it will hurt their wallet a little more.

    That's an impressive settlement for an '05 Tacoma if I'm reading this right. If you can find an 08 left over_ you can practically steal it off the lot after the 2K rebate. As for the Tundras, there are some exceptional deals to be had on them as well and the '08s have a 5K rebate. If you have a need for a full size, Tundra-otherwise, Tacoma all the way...

    What a mess, that sucks. Tacoma all the way, as said earlier, Tundras are nice but way too big. When the drunk gets out of the drunk tank I would THEN kick him in the nuts. :puke:

    +1. This time you could buy a crew cab Tundra with the 5.7 liter and swap it with a 2.4 liter Tacoma engine. Maybe this time you could post pics of the swap.
