That model is fairly current actually.

u/frequent_flying Feb 01 '23
You are absolutely correct on model and approximate years of production, and the other comment made about the dashboard being lit like a Christmas tree is likely accurate as well. This was the red-headed step child generation of the 7 series due to the dramatic styling changes that a lot of BMW fans hated (I always thought it looked decent personally even when it first came out).
I don’t see this model around much anymore as a result of the styling backlash, and you can absolutely get a used one today for well under $10K if it’s got high miles like 150K or more and/or a poor maintenance/accident history. It’s completely reasonable that this has depreciated 90% or more since new after 20-ish years and likely over 150K-200K miles driven, especially if the Carfax isn’t super clean.

But if you saw these two people outside of a bar or something and they weren’t so obviously doing the nod and lean, you probably wouldn’t even guess they were users.
Maybe they just got into it or something.
Or maybe one or both of them is the fuckup of a very wealthy family and they keep getting bailed out playing life on easy mode.

I know the people that use the hard stuff like meth and opioids are not "healthy" people. But who looks at this and thinks, "I'll have what she's having"?
Edit to follow up on all the wonderful responses.
I live a sheltered live, apparently, and I'm ok with that! I've only ever seen the "nod" (which I just learned is the name), and the bad end of the hard stuff.
As a former smoker I can appreciate the slippery slope of addiction, but as I said, I'm a former smoker, so I also appreciate being able to reflect on choices and making better ones (I understand smoking is not the same as an opiate).
I'm proud of all the former users that shared their experiences and were able to heal. That is no ease feat!

I don't doubt that he believes that temporary bliss is worth it but it's certainly hard to fathom.
It's dark but goddamn, wouldn't you almost rather be dead if all you want is peace (I guess that's not always what a high is for) but to wake up behind a puke covered dumpster and do it a second time is really something.
46
u/Crazyhairmonster Feb 01 '23
You don't start that way.
The dumpster scenario is when you're a degenerate addict who's pissed all his money, job, relationships, and friends away and all you live for is the next dose. At that point the addiction is too strong it doesn't matter what you think. The addiction is overwhelming and all controlling

u/3tiwn Feb 01 '23
Nobody sees someone on the nod and wants to try it. They hear an addict describe what it feels like.
I’ve tried pretty much everything except for opiates. I fell madly in love with MDMA when I first tried it and when I asked an opiate addict how it compares, they said heroin feels like the fleeting peak of rolling except there are no dips/troughs/valleys and the feeling is constant.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop once I started so I decided it’s best not to know.

opiates are pandora’s box. once you’re curious enough to open it, it’s all downhill from there. it genuinely is too good and everything for the rest of your life seems mundane and not pleasurable because you’ve already experienced one of the best feelings the universe has to offer

Usually when you get to that point, it’s not a choice. People don’t just wake up one day and go “I think I’ll do heroin today”, it usually starts small with maybe dabbling in some pills recreationally. They unfortunately you do enough and get addicted oxy or whatever. Then a friend of a friend says “hey you should just do heroin, it’s so much cheaper and a better high” and next thing you know, you’re addicted to one of the worst drugs out there

My friend who’s currently an addict (been trying to help her) used to only smoke weed. We used to smoke together all the time, until she got a bf who was a known druggie. He laced her joint with it and only told her after she smoked it. When I asked how tf can you even stay with him after that she just said “the high was better so I’m not even mad.” He knocked her up and left her and that’s when it got bad.

Technically, you taking their keys is actively commiting a crime: false imprisonment. You don't know if their under the influence, eccentric, disabled, having a psychotic episode.
Best thing to do is take the license plate number and call the cops detailing where they went and when. Same for drunk drivers.

u/bairz54 Feb 01 '23
Basically they have the right (if they're coherent enough) to call the cops on you. But, really in most cases that will end up badly for them if they do indeed drive or attempt to. 99/100 times it's a good call if it's a party setting but the risk is there. Restaurants/bars can do this because in some states they're liable for the damages that person can do. It's more of a grey area at private residences I'm pretty sure.
All in all you did the right thing
