Headline kind of says it all:

Minn. man admits driving drunk in his custom La-Z-Boy







The article says the chair could obtain speeds of up to 20 MPH.  Dude was obviously a Chair-born Ranger.

Wow. Just when you think you got to the end of the internet this dude pops up and ruins it for you. That beats all the lawnmower configurations that got a DUI hands down.

a pee

....what can you say 

he he , lol 

.....o wait do i have to read the story

I actually know a guy that knows this guy.  He's the town drunk, apparently, and a bit legendary.  And he's been driving this chair around for quite some time.

Personally, I admire someone who takes time out of their busy drunkenness and gets creative and industrious.  And hey, he'd have pulled it off if it wasn't for the woman jumping on him.  It's not a love seat...geez.

So, just where do you take your motorized Laz-E-Boy for annual state inspections like you do a 'real' vehicle.  And, what if it fails the emissions inspection.  Then what!

Oh yeah, I didn't notice any seat belt, turn signals, or side mirrors either.  Of course you must have disk brakes, traction control and the oh so mandatory air bags to lessen any injuries due to sudden impact.  This guy needs to go back to the garage and properly outfit that chair pronto!

I don't think all states have inspections. When I was young, I remember seeing stickers for inspections in SC, but by the time I owned a car, you didn't have to get them.
