As a current international off road racer, I can attest to the instinct of putting your hands out during a rollover. I have had to train myself to grip the wheel tightly during a rollover. Some of us wear arm restraints that keep us from raising our arms too high. I have known some who suffered from broken or partially severed arms during a rollover incident. It is not a pretty picture. I also feel much more comfortable knowing that the CRX did good to protect its occupants in the event of a "shiny side" down incident. I am so glad that you did not get hurt.

It makes quite a mess to say the least. At least you weren't hurt, and the rex looks very much salvagable. I guess its a good thing to know the rex can survive such upside-down driving. Though probably not the best way to find out. Living in the northeast SUBurbs (Sport Utility Bastards), I feel your displeasure with SUVs. There are 2 H2s and Navi's, an Excursion, and countless "mini" SUVs just on my one block. People here swear they need the SUVs to navigate (no pun intended) through the "harsh" winters here. I have less trouble in the rex or 4 cyl Accord than most of them. They need to spend a few of their monthly payments on driving lessens then they could drive reasonably sized cars and wouldn't need 3-4 parking spaces at the store...
