Jesda,

What is the point of your thread? I thought we were going to see an SUV shiny-side-down?

Oh its not too late!

In fairness to trucks, theyre well built. I was reading about a guy in Automobile Magazine (the issue with the new 911 on the cover). His Suburban flipped over a half dozen times and he came out with no injuries.

I've got a friend that actually managed to do that while in Kosovo...

Dude, the reason for the title to this was the Firestone emblem on the wall behind the soldiers. You of all people should remembe the whole Firestone/Ford Explorer fiasco. Which was only the fault of the drivers and not of either Ford or Firestone.

My dad's at the mines in Wyoming right now. I'll ask him to try and get a pic of one of those bigass dump trucks (see the "Coming soon to a suburb near you" thread in NICO General) tipped over. I'll make it my new avatar and post it a lot. And we will all laugh.

Dude. They look unnatural anyway. But yeah. You know what would be funny? A flipped Hummer with a Chevy Metro parked on top (well...on the bottom, but it's the top since its upside down....ow that hurt).I have no idea why, but that seems funny right now.HEY! Its 10:00!!!!! I can go home now!!!! Yay work is over!!!!!!
