Upside down: Oil on road + wet = game over :(
 

The corner next to bus stop had oil and light drizzle.

Totaled? :)

Walked away - no injury whatsoever.

Managed to line up 3 patches of oil, 2 on outside wheel line, 1 on inner line. Police ruled no fault.

2017 model is just around the corner I guess.

From now on you will be known as "nogrip."

Glad you're ok.

Roof damage=totaled
Sucks bro. I hope you have full coverage.

Hmmmm....

Mine was a bit worse than that. Cost about cad12,500 to fix.

:) I laughed thinking back to this. TCS don't help what I went through unfortunately.

In the exact spot I went off there are a couple of accidents a year, every year for at least 40 years. It's a baaaad corner, which has buses doing a u-turn all day every day, and spilling out all kinds of fluids. The guy whose front yard I ended up in had to get a Honda removed from his yard 2 weeks ago.

Fortunately, I'm insured.

Dude you need to work on your wheel gap.
Just kidding man. Im glad you're okay. I hope everything goes well for the car transition!

Diesel near bus stops, yuck!! Light drizzle added to the mix a fucking disaster in the making. Count ourselves lucky as we have four contact patches, I feel sorry for the bikers!

Dang son... I've always wondered what it feels like to roll a car. I'm sure it's pretty hard to in these cars with the low CoG though. Glad it held up and you're OK though. Just count it off as a rally incident. :P

The first time it happens it's disconcerting. The second time it's like "why the F did I do that..?" I don't know what it feels like the third time :iono:

yet :bonk:

It does make me feel a little better seeing how sturdy these roof pillars are, in the event of a roll.

Fortunately has been quite a lot of progress in passenger cell protection since Frank Williams' accident.

An Oil Slick on a wet road is no joke, it's almost as bad as ice.

Coming up to an intersection with two left hand turn lanes, I was in the inner lane of the turn. I saw the oily sheen and reduced my speed to about 7-8MPH (Normal speed for that wide of a corner is probably 15-25MPH). Even then my car slid through the second lane and into the the third before I regained grip. Lucky for me there is no one in the outside turn lane.

Your most definitely not totaled.

Good buddy rolled his a lot worse than that and he was hoping it was totaled but it wasn't.

Maybe if you would of found one of those trees on the way down it would been different.

7 mph was enough to send you three lanes over? Sure it wasn't flubber that you hit?

I did something similar going less than 15 when I hit sand. 7 MPH with no grip is plenty enough.

Obviously the work of the JDM under panels providing +1000% extra downforce, when disrupted, causes catastrophe.

Managed to do something very similar in my old Forester believe it or not, sub 20 mph into a downhill corner with ~1 inch accumulated snow, over 2 lanes and upside down in the ditch.

0 Injury to me and my GF at the time, and the kicker? We landed in a squishy marshy section and the only damage to the car was a smushed driver side mirror and some gnarly scratches... #Tank.

At any rate, glad you're doing alright

Australia. Other side of the road. No lanes over.

V tec kicked in yo!~


Damn, i want those seats if they good.

I was only about 2 foot off the road, but the drop away caused the nose to drop and then the car to roll.

I was doing about 40kmh, and probably 2-3kmh when I went over the drop. If it was 1m of flat on the side, I would have driven off with zero damage.

The poor bikers . . . reminds me of when I lived in San Francisco. Heavy fog or light drizzle settling on the streets all the time, and shiny streetcar tracks flush with the asphalt literally everywhere. They were laying them down and sliding in every direction, especially at intersections.

:bellyroll:

You ended up like that !!!

And

" walked away - no injuries whatsoever"

Wow

Rolling isn't really that traumatic. I'd much rather roll a few times than hit an immovable object.

I think I agree, though I've only done it once, and wouldn't really want to try it again. My adventure involved leaving a tightly curved exit ramp going too fast. I slid sideways down into a wet grassy culvert, which started the roll. What stopped the roll was a heavy concrete wall with a pipe in it to drain water from the grassy ditch. Sort of the worst of both worlds, if you will. I describe my scramble to exit my smoking car somewhere else around here, but I was uninjured because I was belted, and the A, B and C roof posts did their job beautifully. When the wrecker pulled it (2003 Mazda Protege ES 4-door sedan) back onto its tires, I found that I could easily unlatch and relatch all four doors.

I am doubly blessed: that OP is as unscathed as I was, and that it looks like I can expect the same selfless heroism from my BRZ, if and when push comes to shove.

:cheers:

Oh, yeah. I've rolled without striking anything. If I had to hit an immovable object, I would much rather be right side up.

Mt Dandy tourist rd?

That should buff right out.

are they really totaling that out? damages don't look that bad

ow shi* bro that is dreadful :confused0068: :burnrubber:

Oil Patch = Banana Peel?

JK. Glad you are OK.
Traction control was off or no?

My BRZ has recovered from horrific tail out sliding in snow at 60mph, so I'm wondering how your BRZ didn't recover this one.

It's totaled. Cheque in the mail.

RIP

Las time I drove over an oil patch I shit my pants literary..... Cuz I was by a railroad cross......... >.>

Come to think about it railroad track section was what helped me regain grip... Good thing it was late @ night with almost no traffic.
