All right- who here flipped their 5th while wheeling too hard?

Do you see another car in the picture? Why is the light bar on? It doesn't take a genius to figure what was going on. He was trying to flex his stuff on that rock and the rock won. Whether it was to show off to his buddies or if he wasn't doing it for a photo shoot the end result is that he looks foolish flipping his truck in the parking lot of a strip mall.

My thoughts exactly.

You can't fix stupid.

Dumb: "Hey, you think this here souped up 4Runner can crawl over that parking lot boulder?"

Dumber: "Sheeeeet yes. I got a bumper and all kinds of ground clearance shit on this beeeootch. Watch this..."

Thing that pisses me off is we all pay for idiots like this through increased insurance rates.

And to those who are saying "Give the guy a break"? Give me a break. It's an f'n mall parking lot. ;-)

It probably was something stupid... But a still picture can't possibly tell an entire story, and everyone has done a stupid thing at one point or another.

Nobody but the most boring people in the world are immune to small acts of stupidity.

I know the offending rock personally. I encountered a similar parking lot rollover accident at that very location, and found a SUV on it's side, similar to what's pictured. The driver cut the corner too tight, caught the back wheel on the rock and it was just enough angle to tip the car on its side.

That rock is a menace!

If that rock is a menace, any Sierra Nevada trail is sure going to be a menace because thats a smaller then average rock :wink2:

I have posed many hundreds of times like that, and on rocks much larger, rolling a rig is not required. Not a good driver.

small acts of stupidity?

It's a daggone good thing that people didn't carry cameras in their pocket back when I was younger, otherwise I would be the subject of many pictures and viral videos...Like the time I decided to jump my bike off the end of a slickie slide... Or the time we took cans, duct tape and gasoline and decided to make cannons.... or the time we decided that jumping off a three story barn into hay wouldn't hurt if we used a blanket as a parachute... or the time we thought that mud hole was only a few inches deep... trust me the list is endless. My brother broke his leg... while it was in a cast for a broke leg. Yeah. ...or the hundreds of chutes I thought I could ride...

So this guy put his 4Runner up on its side in a parking lot. Little bitty bump in the road of life.

You mean this Creed? Yeah wasn't sure what music would be bro. Korn just sounds broish. :drummer:

Nah, I like Korn, and I drive a Limited. But maybe it's a mall cruising thing.

:drum:

I keep looking at that poor 4Runner in its side and I think WHY WHY couldn't it be a jeep.
 
Around these here parts, it starts out like this.
Hay ya'll hold my beer and watch this!

Like [MENTION=66316]1engineer[/MENTION] said good thing everyone didn't have a camera when I was younger.

I remember this one jump that I tried on a section of singletrack during a Thanksgiving morning group ride.

Hit it hard and fast and got some good air so I went for the Table Top. Landed in Table Top Position unfortunately, lol.

Anyway, somehow I ended up sliding to a stop on my belly which pulled my bike shorts down around my ankles. Did I mention it was a GROUP RIDE? :)

I scratched up my Willy pretty bad...:tape2:
 
I stuck a paper clip into an outlet when I was 7. Learned my lesson and that was the last stupid thing I did. Well, except for buying my first car - a 1971 Chevy Vega wagon.

Yeah, yeah yeah. Go ahead and beat me up for that one. At least I had the balls to admit it. :-)
