You haven’t really seen me because I’m only really driving the Z at night… and now its stored for the winter. Believe it or not I’ve seen yours. Actually believe it or not I’m right across 16th avenue from you. (I know only because my aunt lives on your street and I noticed your car one day as I drove past)

it’s a condition most asians have…after even the littlest amount of alcohol, in general the asian’s face turns beet red, even though the person is completely sober.

ok, just googled it, and there’s actually a wiki entry for this…

> **[Alcohol flush reaction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_flush_reaction)**

> Alcohol flush reaction is a condition in which a person develops flushes or blotches associated with erythema on the face, neck, shoulders, ears, and in some cases, the entire body after consuming alcoholic beverages. The reaction is the result of an accumulation of acetaldehyde, a metabolic byproduct of the catabolic metabolism of alcohol, and is caused by an aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 deficiency.

haha the asian glow! never heard of that before.

i only got the problem of my eyes going red… but thats not from drinking.

went threw a RIDE programe on monday right after i smoked one and the cop just asked if I had anything to drink, of course i said no (as i just got off work like 30min ago) and he said alright off you go.

even been threw a RIDE prog. when i had a few beers, didnt lie to them said i had a a couple and he said alright, have a good night.  
and i drove off, knew i was going be ok because my friend was infront of me and he had more than i did (2 beers within like 3 hrs, nothign, dont even know how much he had) and his car was full of more drunk friends (not that the driver was drunk) but he got threw it just fine.

and i cant bring myself to drink and drive, never would never could. my brother lost his license from it, now he ask me to drive him every where.

I’ve been threw ride a number of times, and it’s been quick and painless, both when I had my S14 and now that I have my I30t.

I’ve only been to one this year, in Jan. I was going to my fiancee’s house just about 1/2 hour after proposing. It was around 12:30 am, and as I was going through the ride check, I stopped the car. Rolled down the window:

Officer: How are you doing? Have you had anything to drink tonight?  
Me: No officer. We went out to dinner and -  
Fiancee: OFFICER IM ENGAGED! I JUST GOT ENGAGED!!

Officer: (after jumping back, and then laughing for 20 seconds) Have yourself a good night, and good luck buddy!

I was laughing so hard 😃

Shit kurtaceez.  
I didn’t see this posted from you. You don’t have a little picture or anything on your name. No tag, so I must’ve overlooked it.  
We should have a 300ZX gathering once in a while then. Shorteaz, you and I.
