Probably the best vehicle ever made!

Got a badass ride, post it up. Cars, trucks, bikes, trikes, whatever rolls or flies.

Mike can attest to this, I’m sure... drunks are more likely to survive or be less injured in a crash
You can always find an exception. But that's one out of how many thousands?

I've heard that about drunks in wrecks before, just never seen an actual study to prove it actually happened that way because they were drunk. Correlation does not mean causation and all that.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

I will say it seemed to be VERY true that drunks tend to always feel fine and seem okay in the really serious wrecks. Half the time they are walking away from cars where you expect to find a dead body.

But I have NEVER seen a person ejected where I said “I bet they survived from being ejected”.

Most ejections I see wouldn’t even be a bad wreck if they had a seatbelt on. And almost all my ejections are fatalities. And I see plenty of them.

Most have no idea the the kind of and the amount of forces involved

Physiologically it makes sense. Sober people will tense up in a crash. The more inebriated, not so much.
