probably a lot faster to roll. S2000's are pretty low so it would be very difficult to roll.. maybe he meant down a hill.

Alright, I'll be that guy.

Tire condition? Speed at the time of accident? Were you still gaining on the car in front of you WHILE you fishtailed???

Glad you're okay.
I still had about 50% tread on my tires. My speed was about 20-25. And i yes, i was still gaining on the car in front of me.
Again, glad you walked away, that is the most important part.

I also do not believe the "20-25 MPH" part.

Glad you are okay. Sorry to hear about your crash. You barely got a chance to really enjoy the car.

I'm sorry about your car but let me get this straight, you were going 20 to 25 and started to fishtail then your car went up a hill and rolled twice. I think you may have been going a little faster than 20 or 25 mph, when its fogy its hard to tell how fast your going unless you are looking at the speed-o and when its fogy most people look at the road and not at the speed-o. That is when the speed slowly creeps up. Have you thought about buying it back and turning it into a track car?

I tend to agree. There isn't enough energy to roll this car twice UP a hill.
My fault. Typo. I meant 30-35. Also let me elaborate. I didn't roll up a hill, on the side of the road there is a incline leading into woods. I guess my fault again calling it a hill. When I went off road, the car went up the incline and rolled back down.

I feel like you've left out a large part of this story. I suspect you over drove both your skill and the conditions.

Thankfully you weren't hurt. PLease go take some driving lessons.

You said you had about 50% tread. What kind of tires were they?
Very sorry for you this happened.

Full red interior...

Always a sad day when an S2k comes to a violent end. Glad you're healthy.

I'm sorry to hear this and the fact that you only had your car for about 2 months. Wet leaves are very slippery.
