Autopower cage saves my friends' lives...pics inside
This is how the car was as people should and will remember it in it's prime.
These are pics of it after the wreck, still makes me sick to look at them, so much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this car, it's a shame that it had to go out like this.
Just thank God that both are going to make a recovery and no lives were lost, cars can be replaced lives can't.
The Roll bar is what saved their lives, anyone who bashed on it, eat your words, Autopower cages DO in fact work, I'll never knock another on ever again. EVER.
For the note, the sterring wheel is ABOVE the roof line.

It flipped end over end 6-8 times estimated. You can see the owner of the car in the background with the bandage on his arm, he was letting his friend drive the car when it happened, the driver is still in the hospital in the Neuro ICU, gonna take around 2 years for him to fully recover.

They were driving backroads that they have been driving for around 6 years now, it actually happened on like a 10 degree turn, hit a patch of sand and the *** end went out, as soon as that happened, it went off a 6ft embankment backwards and started flipping.

We tried to start the car but it seized up, car was probably running on it's roof for a while, he looking into buying an LS swapped hatch and building an LS/VTEC for it. Everything is good except for the body, hell even the duckbill made it somehow.

On a second note, the car had Work RS-Bs on when it wrecked, the Rotas were LONG gone, NONE of the wheels were harmed, they are FORGED, they took a crazy HELL of a beating too, just a reason CAST wheels suck, i.e. ROTA. </TD></TR></TABLE>
First off, thats a roll BAR, not a cage, its 4 points. 2nd off, I've seen convertables and regular cars rendered unrecognizable with no rollover protection whatsoever and the occupant/s were unharmed. So whether or not the rollbar or "luck" was what allowed him to live is not something you can say.
3rd off, why the expletive do you have to turn it into some gay rota bashing ****? 99% of all the wheels on the road are CAST wheels but "cast wheels suck" must have been important when talking about your "friend's" life.

No just how I feel about cast wheels, and something he wanted me to say about them, he chose for me to write about it, but it's an opinion dude, calm down geeezzz heh.
Yes, both him and I and everyone else who has seen the car has rendered that the ROLL BAR, saved their lives, and they firmly believe in this.

I wasn't with them, I got a call while I was at the mall telling me that one was being aircared and other by ambulance, I was the first one to get to the hospital, true shame that happened.
