Out for a Sunday Cruise and ...


Check this out! My brother-in-law out for a joy ride yesterday and flipped it a couple times. I have no details other than they both walked away! He says he's a little sore today but they are both lucky MF'ers


Needless to say, my sister is less than thrilled!

Holy SHee-it! Glad they are OK. I continue to be amazed at the strength these cars have taking serious accidents, especially the A Pillars.

Is that the sunroof opening on the roof or did the roof split open?

Is it your car, or his?

Glad your brother in-law is OK, but he's an idiot.

That is a sunroof! Here is one of the last pics of the car before it went airborn.

They should be able to buff that out.

Good tires, but not great tires I presume.

He was evidently going way to fast for road conditions or his driving skills. The important thing is they walked away. It is just a car and I presume he had adequate insurance, if not he is an idiot for sure.

But glad that they are ok otherwise.

Bad day, but could have been worse. I'd probably delete those pics of crashed car and of fella holding beer shortly before crash.

Too late. I've already sent a copy of this thread to Obama. Expect a knock on the door shortly.

Clarkson would have driven it right out of there, and then dropped a piano on it.
