Well my friends were going up into canada for a ski trip, and they took the jeep. Coming home on the highway up there he was doing about 60 or so (he said a toyota echo had passed him, so he figured it wasnt all that bad) and well, he ran off the road


and flipped the Jeep not once, but Twice. But here is the part i can't belive, after climbing out of the sunroof and looking over the Jeep, it only dented both front fenders, scatched up the top a bit and bent the ski rack a tiny bit.





Tow truck to the rescue! (notice hardly any damage)






After getting pulled out they hopped back in (with beer and liqour bottles that had came out of the cooler and broke and spilled everywhere, smelling horrible in there) they drove 800 more miles home with no issues at all.

I'd like to see what kind of damage there would have been without the snow there.

im suprised they let them drive it home. shouldnt there of been a police report, and the vehical possibly impounded?

I've been towed out of the ditch a couple of times, and the police have never been involved.. As long there isn't much damage, not much sense making a report.. Your insurance would go up as well..

yea like he said i don't think it was really that big of a deal so the cops didn't get involved as far as i know.

Would've been funny had they got pulled over on the way home.

Officer: Why does it smell like beer in here?!
Guy: Oh, well we were speeding and I flipped my jeep, cool huh!
*guys gets arrested for DUI and impounds car*

LOL

Winter tires is why the echo passed with no problems and your friend ended up in the ditch. Good to hear that everyone is alright.

If your friend looked at those roads and figured they were safe, not only does he have poor judgement, but he's an incredibly lucky idiot.

that is the coolest sh** ive ever seen

thats the kind of accident ive always wanted to be in. nobody hurt, no damage to car. its just an interesting ride

Nice, soft, puffy snow cushions the impact too.
