No problem man, it was good to finally meet you! I have a funny story about drinking Zima and getting run off the road and bumping into a tree.
Before I was of legal drinking age, I found it agreeable to get a couple 2 liter bottles of sprite and dump that crap out and fill it with Zima. I had a part-time job that didn't require much thought so I found it fun to enjoy my Sprite while on the clock. I couldn't quite fit ALL of my Zima that I had into the two-liter bottles so I slammed a half-bottle before heading to this little job that I had. I was running late, so I hopped into the car and off I went - Sprite bottles chilling in a cooler in the trunk. I was driving like a dumb-ass high school kid late for work and came to an intersection. Two cars were stopped in the left lane waiting to turn left, so I went to pass on the right. The second person in line decided that taking a left was no longer a good idea, so with left-blinker-blinking, he turns the wheel to the right to go around the first person in line. I saw this at the LAST minute, slammed the breaks and turned to the right, but there was no where to go. With wheels locked and howling, I jumped the curb and bumped into a small tree, barely denting my bumper. I hopped out of the car, amazed that I didn't slam into the person who decided not to turn and that my cat-like reflexes avoided a serious accident. As I'm surveying the situation, someone sprinted from across the street and grabbed me by the shirt. "Holy $h1T, I can't believe you didn't hit them! I saw them cut you off!!! I'll testify for you in court!!!" I looked at him, and at the driver of the car that cut me off - who stopped after realizing what happened - looked back down at my car, shrugged and said "****, I'm late for work, I gotta go!" Hopped back into my car, backed off the curb and left them standing by the tree with dumb/surprised looks on their faces. I was cared that the cops would smell the half-bottle of Zima on my breath and find my stash in the trunk so I got the F out of there. The tree was very slightly scarred and the bumper of my Chevy Celebrity was dented in about a quarter inch. I think about that every time I drive by. the end.
