Ouch!

------- Iva & Belle.) '90B Classic Red.) #3 winkin' Miata
How does gravity come into it? And grip?
The car seems pretty much solidly destroyed. Fortunately it is not a Miata. Although it is obviously a lot more expensive, it was an ugly critter. Whoever had enough money to buy it is now able to buy something better. At least better looking, and with a roof that comes off.

But, note that the cockpit is intact. Not even any broken glass. This Lambo died to save a very lucky person's life.

Grip = mass x gravity Crested a hill while turning right. Gravity is interrupted and back end gets loose.
I would find a place in my garage for such an ugly creature.
Thanks. Was not clear from the photos to me. (Did not notice the hill at all.)
I would find a place on ebay for it.
