I decided to go for a cruise up in the canyons yesterday and got a bit carried away. I was sliding the car around the last few corners and was basically driving like an asshat until finally coming out of the last hairpin I lost the tail when I hit a patch of dirt over a slight crest. I stayed on the throttle but didnt counter-steer fast enough and spun into the dirt mound on the side of the road which launched the car into the air. The car did a single flip and a turn and landed on the roof, or lack of... T crawled out from under the car, got up and looked at my car in disbelief.
I was uninjured besides a few cuts and no one else was involved/injured in the accident. Within minutes passer-by's stopped to make sure I was okay and a biker went down the road where he could get reception to call the tow truck..

the car was totaled

 

Roll = totaled 99% of the time cause the frame is undoubtedly bent

 

sorry to hear man. Yeah, roll = bad times because the window FRAME is gone..

 

wow those pics look scary. i cant imagine how you could have crawled out from that.

 

Looks like you have bald tires, post pictures of the frame. I'm interested in what it looks like.

 

Sorry for you loss. I'm glad you walked out mostly unharmed, the ap1 isn't the kinder of the s2k's it will bite back.





Hope you weren't trying to take lessons from this guy:

I can expect more of this kind of thing now a days from more young inexperienced drivers obtaining cheap ap1's.

 

The fact that you was able to wrote the thread is the most important aspect of the situation. You can get another S2k anyday

 

besides the window frame the rest of the frame should be in pretty good shape. i didnt quite hit the dirt mound rather bump and roll up causing the car to flip over.
is it impossible to fix the window frame? or if it impossible is it worth it/safe?

thanks for the replies guys.

 

haha. i know it is quite ironic that this happens after i make a post like that. i deserved it i guess

 

I woudnt even want it fixed knowing the history of it, I dont get it whats the deal if you flip an s2k with the top down whats the survival rate?? btw i dont think bald tires hurt you in dry weather just wet...
