He did this:

Don't 'wheel drunk, y'all.

Still not sure I understand why the bish didn't have insurance on her rig or why her loserman didn't have insurance either????? No insurance = LOSER x bazillions!

His insurance would probably not have applied to her truck. But you're right ... I don't understand why she wasn't insured. If I'm not insured, I hear from the finance company (she was paying back a loan to buy the truck) and in Florida, if you get busted for not having insurance they suspend your license until you take care of that ... ah ... slight oversight.

Same with California - you don't have insurance, they can take your car right then and there. Ah, youth. Too bad it's wasted on the young

I think the loan was from her daddy and dickweed's insurance probably ixnayed his claim since he was drunk. He spent time in the Moab pokey for it.
I STILL don't see how he f'ed up coming down LB.

What I gathered from some of the posts on TTORA, he got too close to the edge coming down, started slipping, then turned off the side to avoid going off sideways. If that's true, then by turning off the side, he probably saved both their lives. Either way, it was just plain stupid to 1) drink and drive, and 2) drink and drive up and down LB.

Again, HTF did he do that? LB is wide as a driveway and in the spot he went off it's very wheeling friendly. IMO, he was doing something else and not paying 100% attention, got a wee bit off line, looked up, panicked and then tried to lawndart the Toyota. I wonder if he's related to the dopey Jeeper from the Rubicon?

I edited myself: It happened with the sun still up. He probably just drifted over and suddenly found himself too far over. I think. If the photo I posted earlier is of the start of the swan dive, anyway.

The good news: I found a music video they made of the outing. (Thank you, YouTube!) The bad news? No clips of him actually driving off the edge. The video's about five minutes long and the part about the wreck is at the very end of the piece.
