no, the thing that is most funny is that it took a few friends to flip it back on its four wheels. I mean, it's an xA right? Can't you flip that little thing back over single handed?

You've been driving for 5 years since 11? Were you delivering Tofu on mount Akina?

Go to column B and select the appropriate drop down menu items. Side mirrors are listed under Front Doors>Outside Mirrors. Insurance could pay for it...just don't let them know what exactly happened.

Stupid,worthless comment...why even post? Can you lift a ton with one hand? Can you...oh..wait,you're a tC owner posting in an xA/xB forum so you shouldn't be here at all.

what?? I can't join in on the xA fun?

look, if magnus magnusson can pull a semi with his teeth, then yes i believe you can push an xA over. Why don't you flip yours over and I'll show you how it's done?

By your logic this is a stupid, worthless thread...

...even further, this is a stupid, worthless site...

...hey, why stop there? This is a stupid, worthless internet.

Dumbass...

...he can post whatever he wants, and honestly, if you knew anything about physics, the amount of force you would have to use to right a 2300 pound car on its side is nowhere NEAR the actual weight of the car.

To the original poster - you should really limit that kind of activity to snow-covered, empty parking lots & sand pits where there isn't a risk of harming other people or property that isn't your own.

In my opinion and the way i see it is that he was being sarcastic ,because maybe the cars so small? and even if he drives a tc who really cares? i see that there are people on here that dont even have a scion yet and they still post here, i think that anyone who truly has an interest in scions should be able to. i dont want to get wrapped up in this and im not here to offend anyone but im sure other people took it as him being sarcastic.

I learned how to drive when i was 11 too. Sorry about your car, was this in the wet or dry conditions. Either way you shouldn't be trying to "drift" a top heavy car.

^Now I agree with that! The only E-Brake sinning I do in my xA is in the snow (which we got plenty of yesterday!) only the stability control comes in and prevents me sometimes!

So story behind all this. im on the straight away going about 45mph i heeltoe into the corner e-brake at about 25mph.. my car tiped and it fliped over. luckly before it fliped over i slow the car down enough. so the car like tiped over very slowly. i was waiting in the car as it fliped. it was like a 2second flip thats how long untill it touched the ground. it was a weird experience. i had freinds come over and push the car back to its 4 wheels. i am alive and well no damage to my body. but the car is pretty messed up.

I have to say your storry is hard to beleive... But after reading through this thread it sounds like it relly happened. I'm glad you're ok, sorry to hear how much it's gonna cost, but realize it could have cost you much much i.e. your health/life, someone else's health/life... A corener on someone's street is not the ideal place to unjoy drifting... An empty parking lot or race track is definately more ideal... Less 3 and 4 year olds to run over...

Good luck anyway!

you are lucky that only your car was messed up. You could have killed someone else.

You heel-toed into the corner...you mean you downshifted while synching the RPMs?

if so, what gear did you shift into from 45 mph to get to 25 and flip?
