Another drunk gets into a major accident, gets lucky and dosn't injur anyone and now can claim diving drunk doesn't hurt anyone but himself so it's not that bad. That's the excuse all drivers who decide to drive drunk use.

Well built car... rock, paper, scissors. Or in this case Lexus beats wall.

Aerodynamics....

That liner in the pool is going to need some work, this driver's insurance agent is going to love this dude.

Do insurance companies still pay for damages or in this case pay out for his car?
