Melted to the rim

From Alaska Dispatch News, 12-28-2015:

"Another Way to Tell If You’re Really, Really Drunk: Her passengers had run away, leaving Elena Bartman-Wallman, 23, behind the wheel but oblivious on a December afternoon in Aleknagik, Alaska, and her car’s tires had started to smoke. She had lodged her foot against the accelerator, facing the wrong way on the road, with her wheels spinning continuously, and by the time police arrived (to discover Bartman-Wallman passed out), the front tires had melted down to the rims.

Jonesboro, Ark., Nov. 16 — A woman drove into a service station last night and said to the attendant in a confidential whisper:  "I wish you would check that guy behind me; I think he's drunk."  Police said the "guy" behind was a driverless pickup truck, whose bumper was locked with the rear bumper of the woman's car.  She was charged with driving while intoxicated.
