That's a great find. I like the ones where the biker makes a sketchy b-line across the runoff and the guy in the Beetle that just gets dumped out two feet from his car and just stands up.

I saw that awhile back on another forum. I love it. I particularly like the beatle convertable full of people that is out of control.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Wow, that brings back some bad memories. In high school in the early '70s I had a 64 Beetle that I flipped on the Interstate in the PA Poconos. Going about 70 and came out from between 2 mountains into a cross wind. Swing axles and too wide a set of snow tires on stock rims caused it to flip (along with poor car control skills). Rolled about 4 times over the sides, doors flew open and were obliterated. Rolling motion kept my gf and me pinned in the seats (no seatbelts, of course) until the last roll and we were ejected into two feet of snow in the median. No injuries except for some soreness. The thing that amazed me the most (other than not being injured) was the roof structure of the car held up so well. The windshield was not broken and the rear side windows were not broken either.

Also had a Renault R-8 in high school similar to the one flipping in the video. Haven't seen one of those recently.

INSANO!

Now I know where drifting originated from.

I never realised until just now that an inverted Beetle looks like a turtle on its back!
