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.

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.

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.

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!
