In our case, the guy went through the arborvitae hedge (destroying

driving into our livingroom) by the fact that it had been raining and
our front yard has poor drainage - he sank up to his axles in the
ground. So if it happened a lot (it doesn't this was just an
exceptionally skilled drunk) I would probably go with a similar mud
trap - or water feature. I think a good thick mud would absorb most of
the energy. Mythbusters made a quicksand tank - maybe that would work.

First time I've ever called the cops on a guy...

If you owned a backhoe and a shotgun, you could have avoided calling
the cops.

They say drunk drivers are really nice people, down deep.

"I mean, when's the last time you heard of a college where the Young
Republicans staged a "Sit In" to close down the Humanities building?
On the flip side, how many sit in's were staged to close the ROTC building back in the '60's?
Liberals stage protests, do civil disobedience, etc.
Conservatives talk politely and try to work out a solution to problems
through discourse until they believe that talking won't work... they they go home and open the gun cabinets.
Pray things never get to the point where the conservatives decide that
"civil disobedience" is the next step, because that's a very short route to "voting from the rooftops"
