Default a former owner.

i would just like to tell everyone that i used to not really like having a Honda. but after what happened on the weekend i am proud to have owned such a well made car. i flipped my 96' accord doing 120. and im alive to tell the tale. i am actually fine. no injuries except cuts from crawling through a bush to get out. but yeah the car was totaled but everything went how it should have. power went off, no fire, air bags worked. everyone in the car got out fine. so long story short, honda's are very well made cars and can handle a flip at 120 and not kill the occupents.

Im impressed. But the next guy who rolls at 120 might not be so lucky. NO car can protect you all the time, so I hope nobody goes out to test that.

I say that if you are going to drive like that, your best bet for safety is taking some Skip Barber driving lessons. I plan to pretty soon!!!

Sorry there Jim, but you know that someone will go 121 just to beat the record....
