Man gets DUI for driving motorized Bar Stool

While the initial reaction to the photo above may be "Where can I get one?" - a word of caution - Motorized Bar Stools usually lead to DUIs. Go Figure.

MARCH 31--In a law enforcement first, Ohio cops this month arrested a man for drunk driving on a motorized bar stool. That's right, a motorized bar stool, which can be seen below in a police evidence photo. According to cops, Kile Wygle, 28, crashed his bar stool near his Newark home earlier this month and called 911 due to his injuries. When an officer arrived and asked Wygle what happened, he answered, "I wrecked my bar stool."

So please, put deep though in what you're going to motorize and make sure that you can't just pull up to the bar with it. Although I might recommend that somebody out there figure out how to motorize a sofa. I think that might be the next logical step we take as a species. 

Oh, and make sure you don't disturb the neighbors.

Wygle's homemade ride is powered by a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine. Wygle noted that the bar stool could hit nearly 40 miles per hour, but that he was only going 20 when he wiped out late in the afternoon on March 4 (a witness told police that he spotted someone driving a "strange motorized machine" before the crash). A plastered Wygle, who failed a series of field sobriety tests, was charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license, both misdemeanors. His bar stool was not impounded.

Hence it will not be available at a police auction. Dammit!
