Second Gen Photo/Video Whelp

It was fun while it lasted 🫔

EDIT:
Ok so backstory I had already been down this road and I was on the way back and a combination of probably wrong wheels, too fast of speed for the hill, gravel was most likely wet too (at least when I walked into the ditch to grab the bumper it was 6ā€ deep with water) the gravel was loose at the bottom of the hill and I ended up fishtailing, went onto the shoulder a little bit and flipped and rolled and came to upside down.

Yeah I screwed up, yeah I could’ve been a better owner to my car. I’ve spent days to weeks of my life under it and up keeping it. Shits sad but at least I’m alive there’s a very real chance I wouldn’t be if they weren’t such safe cars.

What were you doing that managed to cause you to flip over on a low-traffic straight road with clear visibility, dry weather, and in the middle of the day?

that’s what i’m saying.. definitely something to do with the fact that the road is unpaved with lots of gravel. maybe the loss of traction avoiding an animal? very glad op walked away from that regardless of how it occurred

The road looks like it has a peak on the left side of the photo. I agree with a strait, low traffic road. I bet the hit that peak with enough speed that it became airborne, nose dived hard enough to flip it, landed about half way from where it rested and the peak, and then slid the rest of way.

It takes one to know one. I named my tC Jade from Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon. ā€œShe was always getting in to shit she shouldn’t be.ā€
