Nice recovery effort, those guys are good. The driver really messed up on that one. One less S2000 on the roads, it won't buff out. A drop of 250 ft, I wonder if the driver / passenger perished ?

That was my first thought.

Looks survivable if strapped in.

Video description says the driver survived.

Canyon driving on cheap all-season tires. Hm.

Hope no one died in this.

Cheap tires? Those FP7000 all-season tires cost at least $100 each!

Roof up has really limited visibility in my car. I can see why race venues want a roll bar and/or hard top in our cars to run on the track and not merely depend on the car's chassis. Not the road to learn how this car handles.

Tow truck team left a lot of trash on the ridge but I guess I'm used to Matt's Offroad Recovery where they pick it all up.

I love the Chuckie doll hanging from the boom.

Also, if anyone is still wondering why California is burning, just take a look at all that dried up tinder all over that hill!

Good Ol' Mulholland Dr. This used to be my motorcycle route for many many many years (over a decade). I've seen so many people wipe out there. Both bikes and cars. Especially at the snake (RIP). Saw an M3 flat out flip over on the road in front me of me once while I was on my 1000rr.

Seeing this S2k in this state breaks my heart. I dream of taking my S back to CA but for now, will stick with the Tail of the dragon. .......and with good tires!!! lol.

I prefer more of the greener parts of the state although I do enjoy the desert and Death Valley with the S. Politics suck but the California is still California.

The Tail of the Dragon is nice if it was not so crowded. I easily go where I am often the only car in sight!
