It was only a matter of time.  This entire story reminds us of the movie Field of Dreams.  “If you build it, he will come.”  Inevitably, if you build a rolling La-Z-Boy with an 8 hp lawnmower motor in it, some dude is gonna get wasted and drive it.  Seriously, what other reason can you think of to build one?

A Minnesota man arrested last year for drunkenly driving a motorized La-Z-Boy lounge chair pleaded guilty this week to a DWI charge. Dennis Anderson, 62, was nabbed after driving his chair into a parked car, according to a Proctor Police Department report. A subsequent blood draw showed Anderson's blood alcohol content was .29, more than three times the legal limit. [The chair] is powered by an eight horsepower Kohler lawnmower engine, and has a stereo, headlights, a built-in cup holder.

Three cheers for Dennis for succeeding in being arrested for one of the best reasons ever. Ever.

Note the bumper sticker: “Hell Yeah It's Fast”

UPDATE: The chair is now for sale on Ebay.
