xxxjay and other late night guys that drink/drive ... TIP
 

I don't want to debate drinking and driving. We have all been there done that. The designated driver deal requires planning and a sober friend, something I never seem to have at 1:30 am. A cab is sometimes impossible to find. When and if a cab arrives guaranteed it will be old, dirty, driven by some creep and you have the problem of picking up your car the next morning.

Here is a little tip I have used over the years .....

Call a tow company. A $75,000 roll-back that the driver proudly washes everyday will deliver you and your car home for less than round trip cab fare. It's also a lot more fun if you are with a date.

You're welcome.

.

saying you can't find a cab in LA is like saying you can't find a girl to suck cock on camera in LA.

jay doesnt drink and drive.

he takes cabs everywhere.

just to clear that up.

why would you assume jay drinks and drives? just because he has parties and stuff?


BTW: i have gotten a dui and its no fun and i certainly haven't thought of driving again after you get it. california fucks you hard in the ass when you get one.

Statistic: In L.A. county just over thanksgiving weekend there were over 400 DUIs just in one county. Like you said, been there done that, and until you get stung you dont see the ramifications or consequences.

2cents

Can she suck cock and watch your car all night?

EXCUSE ME ..... fucking-around-and-business-discussion/789710-jail.html

I lived in LA for a decade taking cabs from the Valley to Sunset, and back day after day drinking and partying non stop.

Leave the car at home, anyone doing any real partying should know this. Who takes their car out???? Cab ride from bar to bar man

I usually had drinks before leaving the house, so no way Id be driving LOL

you should never assume, jay is 100% against drunk driving

i think you owe him an apology.

NOW THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!!!!

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

never thought of that, I've taken cabs since i got in trouble. LOL.

sometimes to the tune of 125 bucks to get home. for that i could have gotten the tow place to pick up the ride and me and go for it. :thumbsup

Befgore you jump my shit ..... fucking-around-and-business-discussion/789710-jail.html

Just trying to be helpful .....

damn, i'm gonna have to talk about that with him. SOOOOOOOOOOO out of character for him.

was just this morning so since i was sleeping and not out with him, no way for me to know this or been there.

damn jay. glad what happened to me did not happen to you man. no fun.

like you said, not drunk for you, but the law is so fucking low, its so easy to get hemmed up.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

On those nights when BOOM! there you are drunk I have found this works great. I live in a city much smaller than L A and getting a cab after 1 am is tough.

Being against it and actually living up to your own words are two different things. You should never assume just because he's against it that he hasn't done it.

lol,. didnt see that and i was with jay last night at vice for a bit.

yeah, he's a tard for that one

but i can tell you he's always the one who has us get a cab.

I used to think I was smart waiting till 5-6am to drive home after doing some partying. That was till i wrapped my whip around a pole. That was a while ago and I've learned my lesson.. Nothing but trouble.. Like it has been posted already.. LEAVE THE WHEELS AT HOME!!!

Guys,
 

I'm a veteran and fan of a good buzz ..... My advise was for those few times where you say fuck-it I'm driving home ONLY because you have your car with you. I saw Jay's post but decided to address everyone not just him.

yah for sure. good lookin out. i bet jay will never do it again, especially since he's the "lets get a cab dude" all the time.

i will never do that shit again. thats why you get fucked so hard by the state. i am fortunate, i had a great lawyer and never lost my license. so glad the whole thing is over.

all it takes is one SUD (sudden unimportant decision) and you're in trouble. trouble that doesn't go away for months.

When I was at Webmaster Access I stayed at a hotel 15 minutes away from the Sheraton and I had a *horrible* time relying on taxis to go back and forth. I probably clocked several hours of time either standing on the street trying to flag one while calling several taxi companies on my cell phone over those 4 days, nevermind hundreds of dollars.

you should never assume, Airek is always 100% right?

Now who owes who an apology? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Budweiser has been promoting a tow and ride service down her for the last few weeks for the holidays

They provide this service for free.

Smart marketing

Get a group of friends and everyone chip in $ - order a limo for the night, it isn't that expensive. Have it pick everyone up, wait for you at bars, take you to better bars, then take everyone home at the end of the night. And you can drink in a limo between locations.

Nothing like getting a limo driver to back into the drive-thru of carles jr at 3am.

Yeah, like I said in the other thread. I am better with cabs than condoms.

Didn't read the entire thread did you? But posted anyway :1orglaugh

Lol, a tow company??

That's no good..

why ......?

at least someone here sees me for the brilliant source of information i am sometimes.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

My one friend drives a one ton dually quad cab truck. He has a CAA membership that he pays for every year, so if he is stuck somewhere hammered and there are too many cops around, he just calls CAA and tells them his truck is broken down.

He gets so many tows a year that are free. It's not an easy job towing his truck either, since it is basically a tow vehicle itself. He hauls trailers for a living with it.

They drive him right home. Not a bad deal, especially considering it costs $90 plus tip just to get a taxi to come from the city out to where we live. That's why there are so many impaireds given out around here... There's no friggin taxi or bus service at all, unless you want to spend over $100 every time.

Okay but let's be real... how often could one conceivably use the tow truck angle before the company or AAA or CAA got wise to it? Someone going out a few times a year may be able to get away with it but wouldn't they be getting peeved at someone hitting them up for a tow home twice a week or more?

Btw I like the idea. Don't get me wrong.

The other flaw in it is... if more than a few people in your town or city started getting the same idea they would never be able to keep up. I can just see it now, 2 am every Friday and Saturday night and they get 75 calls for a tow, all from various night spots around town.


Better to like Fletch said leave your car at home from the getgo.

Ya, CAA has a pre-set limit, I think only 4 free tows a year. But that is a pretty good bargain for him considering it would probably cost him a few hundred every time to tow his truck.

And how long does it take to wait for a tow truck to arrive, mount it up, drive you home and take it off? Probably 3X longer than a cab. If you can't find a cab outside a club after 20 minutes, your not in a good club to begin with.

Has anyone tried the trick they showed in the Captain Morgan commercials?

Show up to a pizzeria or fast food delivery place, order some food and tell them to deliver and get a ride with the delivery guy? Seems too easy to be true, food and a ride for $20 :)
WG

The wait could be longer/shorter/same ... HOWEVER, Make sure you factor in the cab ride and time the next morning to retrieve your hopefully undamaged car.

Obviously my tip has limitations, please keep it in context. The context being an unplanned party night where you find yourself over the limit and about to talk yourself out of taking a cab because you have your car with you.


.

great idea - and for a $10-20 tip it'd probably work

A few of thoughts

Cabs are great for New York but whoever said they go from the Valley to Sunset in cabs every weekend....your crazy.

This is LA I drive everywhere...I just dont get hammered to where I shouldnt drive.

The tow-truck idea is cool but not new...many of us have nice cars that cant just be dragged by a tow truck..try getting a FLAT BED into the Les Deux parking lot at 3:30AM...lol...nice try:thumbsup

If I plan on getting wasted I do the limo thing with my buddies.

If I didnt plan on it but I am wasted I find a pretty, unsuspecting sober girl to help little ole me out and drive me home because I am wasted...:winkwink:

I love that Captain Morgan commercial....good idea

they'd be happy to get that too

yeah, i spoke to soon

but I have seen jay take tons of cabs and also speak out against dui

guess no one is perfect

If I'm driving and staying somewhere new, the first thing I do is find local cabs, and store thier #'s on my cell..

Nice! Thanks! and these places are usually open till 2am..if not 24 hrs.

Ya, but it works for us around here because we all live an hour outside of the city in the boonies. No one wants to have to bum a ride off someone to get back into the city to pick up their car in the morning when they are hung over.

They have to use a BIG flatbed to tow my friend's truck because it can't be towed by lifting the front.

I'm pretty sure it won't work for insurance reasons not to mention I doubt the pizza guy will take 2-3 passengers and have 10+ pizzas in the car going from stop to stop, but it looked damn good in the ad.
