Shabbat follow up

Question

Dear Rabbi, I asked if I can go out with my goyish friends on shabbat so long as I don't use money, touch the car (but ride in it). You replied that I should take a look at my future, etc. But you never actually answered the question. Assume my question was hypothetical. Is it allowed then? Thanks Rabbi!

Going "clubbing" is Yaharog Ve'Al Ya'Avor, which means that if someone put a gun to your head and wanted you to do it, you would be required to get killed rather than sin. You knew that! AA
