nice i use that freeway all the time.

but still how the hell did he flip, was he going like 200mph, i mean arent these cars designed to go that fast...?

 

[EvilDeadFan]

The cars are designed to go that fast for sure. In fact faster with the new 600hp version. Anyways, with a car as wide as a hummer, that person must have been pulling some pretty special moves to get it to flip!

High performance car, low performance driver.

 

[Ferdball]

I'm preety sure he launched after he hit the embankment.

I just saw a blue SRT10 today, it was gorgeous. I don't think it'd take much to do that after hitting a curb.

 

[zoom_craigy_zoom]

He's lucky he escaped with only cuts and bruises.

 

[EvilDeadFan]

with most likely an open targa top? You're damned right. If he even landed on a steel garbage can he would hav been screwed!

as a viper enthuziest, seeing that just F'd my day up.


someday i will have the privilege of taming the beast, and i promise to treat it with the utmost respect.

 

[danger mouse]

[mattleegee]

the only thing i can think of is he was going fast and prolly switched lanes a little to quick (maybe almost hit a car) jerked it a little too hard, lost control, hit the embankment, and tires got caught and rolled.

Why is it any time someone is speeding and crashes, street racing is the first thing to come up?

I'd like to know why this is even news? Must have been a slow news day. The stupid biotch that rolled her Kia Rio on its roof on a residential street near downtown Dallas didn't make the news. Oh, right.... because it wasn't an $85,000 car. Any car, long, low or wide that can achieve 30mph can be flipped. He's just lucky his head didn't get rolled out into the grass without his body.

Because today's journalism is a joke and caters to what people want to hear: celebrity gossip. As a journalism major graduating in May, it's really sad to see that my profession is getting flushed down the toilet.

When some cars reach very high speeds, all it takes is a gust of wind to launch the car into the air.

The Mercedes Benz CLK GTR comes to mind.
