‘DWI’ B'klyn woman smashes right through home on Long Island

[Renew Deal]

<snip>
A Brooklyn woman drunkenly slammed her sports car into a Long Island home yesterday with such force that it tore through two rooms and landed in the back yard — taking with it everything, including the kitchen sink, cops said.

Amazingly, nobody was hurt in the 4 a.m. chaos, which left cabinets, dining-room chairs, a stove and stainless-steel bowls scattered around the crumpled red Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 in the rear of 96-year-old Helen Indiere’s once-tidy Huntington home.

The driver, Sophia Anderson, 21, emerged from the top-down convertible with only a few scratches and bruises on her face — even though the car took down a tree along its path of destruction.

The retired dress-shop owner was sleeping in her room about 20 feet from where the car hit.

It's worth reading this crazy story.

1. Ban sports cars!

Well, they do kill a lot of people, including that "Jackass" star...

2. Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 + age 21 + irresponsible behavior = likely 1%er.

Just my sneaking suspicion. Effin' entitled little skank.

3. The smirk on her face in the mug shot says a lot.

More like a "smug shot."

4. quote from the 96-year-old who was in the home

Indiere was nonchalant as she told arriving Suffolk County firefighters, “Yes, there was a very big accident in my house.”

6. An estimated 40 to 50 mph?

That estimate seems . . . conservative.
