"Did I pop a tire?"

Um, no, you had a 500 HP motor smokin' the tires of a light *** end truck. That in and of itself is an issue. Then it started to drift slightly left. This is not usually uncorrectable. But just at that time, you also had a road patch or water (it's not terribly clear which) go under the right rear spinning tire, which acted like an ice patch (relatively), and due to the fact you were already correcting left, which hooked it left, given the left tire had plenty of traction and was now going to push that truck around.

Then, as you slid sideways (and probably trying unsuccessfully to correct right, as you're now in the grass), you ran into a ditch, which tilted the truck. Finish it off with a nice pole or post in just the right spot to catch the left fender and act like a ramp, and over you go.

You are one lucky bastidge, as the real finale should have been an exploded brain due to the pressure of a truck on it, but somehow, you squeegeed your way out of it. And that in and of itself is miraculous, given the friend of yours (who is, by the way, quite the brilliant observant linguist) pretty much immediately arrives and you're already out of the truck... which means you were either thrown out, or you were able to scramble out... both of which are possible due to your not having a seat belt on (the only explanation). That in this ONE case, wearing it would have killed you... is not good enough a reason to not have it on. However, since it did save your life, I guess we'll let it slide.

In any event, you need to think about that, what you're doin' with your life... and then send me all your money, because you don't deserve an SRT-10, or the bucks that make that happen. I'll be sure to use it more wisely.

I have to say that he has one great friend, did anyone else notice that he kept the camera running after the truck rolled over???? I seriously would hope that if one of my friends watched me roll a car over that he/she would drop the camera, not run with it.

The two of them are perfect for eachother. :crazy:
