Well, rolling an RX-7 on a smooth level road with uniform surface and traction would be quite the accomplishment, but in the real world there are ditches bumps and curbs. Some of you fail to see this.

Judging by the fact that the car still looks driveable, I'd rule out the curb. OP - did you slide into a ditch and ever so gently roll?

BTW, I had the (dis)pleasure a few years ago of being in a roll-over in Portugal when my Dad's car had a tire explosion. We went backwards at an angle into the center ditch on the highway. Roof caved in when we slid on it for about 50m.

Oh I got more responses than expected, yes it was a VERY HARD roll, truthfully I don't know how either me or my passenger who wasn't wearing his seatbelt survived, I lost control due to bald tires was going to slam into a mustang, locked my brakes and slid into a double roll, landed upside down. We crawled out and laughed at the people who were watching. One was like " It looked so horrible I was sure someone died!" LESSON LEARNED IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. So i don't appreciate idiots with smug remarks. Next time you roll I hope everything turns out for you.

Thank You Rx-7 club!!!!

Oh and the car looked a lot worse cause it was dirty but I cleaned it up and vacuumed it all up, cleaned out all the gear oil that was all over the place, and It is now back as my DD and I am happy. Please don't ask why my passenger wasn't wearing his seatbelt, he ALWAYS does, but for some reason didn't that night. Everything turned out for the beast considering.

man 25 mph ahah eeekk ok i can see that damage and dents but 75 MPH BRO were you going 130 and slid then flipped as you flipped you glanced at the speedo and it said 75 mph

because i will have to call BS on the 75mph and thats all the damage you got

even if you flipped at 75mph your car would have so much freaking damage even you wouldnt know what kind of car it was

i have seen a vehicle flip at 40ish mph and the windows fuxxxd a and b pillars were mangled and both sides had substantial damge on the body- oh and two flats lol

WAIT HAD TO EDIT you werent wearing SEAT BELTS at 75mph and survived , **** i need to rub off you so i can hit the lottery BS
=FAIL

I just want to make it perfectly clear, that I AM NOT LYING, what I wrote is 100% truth. Yes I do realize that cars rolling at 40mph get mangled and the drivers die. I'll have to admit that it was not just luck though, it was something I cannot explain.

I appreciate the concern and your replies, thanks everyone for the support.
