Well, the situation I'm in is similar but not quite the same. Although I guess the method of invitation was changed and that's about it.
EDIT: the situation isn't very hypothetical, you're right. I'll change the title.
I'd ask for one of my friends to drive me but I can't think of any of my friends who can drive, and my parents wouldn't appreciate it if somebody they didn't know very well drove me. (Such as my friends parents, other people who go to the activity.)
