I was arrested for a DUI while driving someone else's car, she has already received her car from impound and paid for the fee to have her car released. Am I legally obligated to pay her back and will they be able to take any legal action against me? I live in california.
I'm not american but did you steal the car from her or did she give it to you willingly? Did she know you were drunk/high beforehand or that you'd be very likely to be soon (i.e gave the keys so you could go to a bar)?
Yes she knew I had been drinking and that i had her car.

She can and should sue you in small claims court for the cost of getting the car out. She would win without difficulty and you'd have to pay the court costs on top of the impound charges.
1. You are an idiot.
2. If you don't pay her back you are a shit friend.
3. If you don't pay her back she will tell everyone what a shit friend you are.

If you don't pay her back you deserve to get your ass beaten. Don't be a fucking faggot.

Almost exactly this situation comes up every couple of weeks on Judge Judy and the plaintiff always wins.

typical drunk not wanting to take responsibility for their actions
