Please don't ask me how fast the Zuk goes with a 6.5 to 1 T-case and 5:13 gears, it doesn't!

At least the damn thing landed on the wheels......it was a nice roll (if there is such a thing). Change the front left tire, take off the hood, change your soiled shorts and drive it back up the hill.....

Cheers!

The bravest of all Spartans was Dienekes. It is said that on the eve of battle, he was told by a native of Trachis that “the Persian archers were so numerous that, when they fire their volleys, the mass of arrows will block out the sun.”

Dienekes, however, quite undaunted by this prospect, remarked with a laugh, “Good. Then we’ll fight in the shade!”

For some reason I watch that video and think...geez, anyone stumble and fall down a trail, it actually takes some skill to drive down it. Dumbass should have gotten out and walked down it atleast to see what he was up against.

Yes to both. I guess that he wanted to take the bump instead of going to the left of it. Also, the brake light was on the whole time, including about 2 seconds into his roll. If he had kept his head, let off the brake and cut to the left, he might have saved it. But, that comes with experience. If he keeps wheeling he'll learn from it, or else Darwin will pay him a visit.
