Wow. How tall are you? My head is over the rollbar and I don't think I would have been as lucky as you in that situation. Did the windshield also cave in or did that happen after you got out?

The A-frame collapsed a bit and had to be cut to get me out. That is why it isn't in the pictures. I'm 5'8" my friend is 6'1". I blacked out and don't remember any of the accident. We landed right side up and my friend got out and called for help. From what I gather I spun out (probably from lift throttle oversteer) and I over corrected. The back end hit the beginnings of a ditch and sent the car rolling into a field. Not sure how fast i was going, I've been told anywhere from 70 to 110. I didn't even make the first payment on it yet.

Basically I made a stupid decision and didn't respect the car and it bit me. Now I save the crazy driving for the track and auto-x. I pretty much drive like Mrs. Daisy on public roads now.
