Corvette Crisis

One morning we were out running some errands. We pulled up to a stop light, in the middle lane of three lanes headed south. We were in the front line, and there were cars in both lanes on either side of us. We both happened to glance to the right, where there was a woman driving a black corvette. She was sipping something out of a silver container. I thought it was a tumbler of coffee, but P&AF said that it was a can of Sparks. At the time I thought he was just joking. The light turned green, we drove through the intersection, and subsequently heard squealing tires. We both turned back to see the corvette fishtailing around the corner. It flew out of control, up over the curb, and into a pole.
M: "Did that car have temporary plates or something? Was she just learning to drive it?"
P&AF: "No, I told you she was drinking and driving."
M: "What do you mean? How do you know she was drinking?"
P&AF: "She was drinking Sparks."
M: "Sparks?"
P&AF: "Yeah, you know, that caffeinated malt beverage."
M: "Seriously?? I thought you were joking about that."
P&AF: "Nope. It was a can of Sparks."
One more reason not to drink and drive....
