<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 Indieres 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.

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

Just my sneaking suspicion. Effin' entitled little skank.

More like a "smug shot."

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

That estimate seems . . . conservative.
