I "re-invented" my image in September 1984 with a DUI. Unfortunately, the only thing it "re-invented" was a fine, jail time, and the loss of my license for about 6 months! In spite of the expensive lesson, I have actually been thankful for that experience, as it has taught me not to drink and drive! To this day, if my wife and I go out to eat, I will not drive, even after just one drink, or even just one glass of wine!

A good lesson! I’m just plain out poor, so I won’t put myself into this situation to begin with. I’d rather drop 20 bucks on a cab then get stuck with a multi thousand dollar bill from the courts. I’m lucky enough to weigh 240 lbs, so I can have a couple brews and legally drive.. But then todays economy forces me to stay at home and enjoy my drink, thus really saving me $$.
