That's a kiss of death.

Money shot. Nicely done.

A few hours later you realize you've dropped $50K on an outhouse in Idaho.

Broken taillight, what a lame excuse.
This is really sad Mario is one of my favorites from the championships days.

If you drink alcohol, astronomical chances are: you drink and drive...or at least have in the past. Not sure how it's become socially acceptable to drive to a local pub and put back a few shots of mind/attitude/perception altering poison...but smoke a bowl at home and you're a criminal. Disgusting.
A few of my friends have gotten DWI's and I have seen the trouble they have gone through and so it was an eye opener for me. My first two years of college I didnt care, but now, I have have hope of getting into medical school I can't risk anything. I am always sure I have a designated driver. But you are right I am part of the 5% that does make sure they dont drink and drive.

Even though I'm not a toker, they should just legalize it.

I got pulled over once for a burned out taillight. It was indeed burned out and I had no idea it was not functioning correctly. I didn't receive a citation, and I guess the officer was just doing his job. I think pulling someone over for a broken taillight is a legitimate excuse, as long as the officer doesn't break the taillight with his nightstick after he pulls you over.
