And yes, I have done stupid things. But I can promise you I never lost control of a vehicle at 20mph and ended up on my roof. Please.
Fair enough, he should have just said I dont remember, or I dont know. But I gotta feel bad for him on some level after seeing those pics. I get annoyed seeing bird **** on my z, just the idea of it being upside down just makes me ill.

On the flip side (no pun intended), maybe its better for him not to say "Yeah man I was doing 60 arround a corner, slid down a bank and my tire dug in and the damn car flipped over!!" Like other posters have said above, we are not the only people reading this board. An admission of guilt no matter where it's made could have some bad effects on the outcome.

If I got into an accident like this I dont think I would admit a miscalculation, excessive speed or whatever... I just would'nt post it at all.

Yeah, I never understand people who post/boast about their accidents (unless it was someone else's fault and they just want to vent).

On a brighter note, if he had any loose change that fell down the cracks and got stuck somewhere, I'm sure it's out now.

That is true...I was assuming nuetral conditions (flat surface)

Same here. This thread was doomed from the beginning.

There ya go everybody. It has been officially confirmed that it is possible to flip a Z when going 20mph.
The physical dynamics of a golf cart and a 350z are just a wee bit different don't you think?

Naw..not at all...one has a tiny wheelbase, weighs 600lbs and is top heavy... the other a wide wheelbase, weighs 3300lbs and very low center of gravity.... wait a tick..damn it you are right!!!! Well...there we have it..20mph is enough to flip a 350Z ... be careful driving your 350zs guys... you just replaced the ford explorer on the rollover list!

I flipped my 350Z parking at 12 mph today. So it is definately possible. Lucky for me I flipped it so hard that I landed on my wheels.

My "Z" for sure has the little black box (thanks GM), and I think they (automotive manufacturers) were all getting together in little black rooms to discuss putting little black boxes in all of our cars.

Orwell was right, he just had the date wrong...
