Co-worker rolled her Solstice... - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

This one is making its way around the internet pretty well already, figured I may as well pass it along. Pictures are about halfway down the first page.

The details fairly simple and I'll save you from reading all the posts, the conversation turns ugly a few pages in. She was on her way back from a Solstice meet and decided to run the Tail of the Dragon. She dropped the right wheels off the pavement in a left hander, slid down into the ditch shown and up the other side, where the car rolled over driver side down. The pictures show a wet road but it was dry when she went off. Her arm was pinned between the headrest and the soft ground. Fortunately another Solstice was behind her and a group of bikers showed up shortly to lift the car so she could crawl out. Of course there was no cell phone service so it took 45 minutes to get a wrecker up there.

After it was all said and done her arm was bruised very lightly with a handful of the worlds smallest cuts. I saw her 4 days later and her arm looked normal... go figure.

It took her all of 5 days to buy another one, this time a full loaded GXP in the same color!
