Well, at least now I know what's less irresponsible than a street race.
Back when I was a little wilder, I had a $100 car that I bought just to thrash. That's how us good ol' boys do it. Anyhow, I wanted to roll this one over onto its roof, an '82 Monte Carlo. Figured my friends, generally wiser than me, would try to warn me of the dangers of such a stunt. Instead, everybody I mentioned the plan to wanted in on the ride. I ended up rolling that car with three passengers, in addition to me, in that car.

It was a blast, everybody enjoyed the ride. Wasn't a high speed flip or anything, just sort of ran it up a steep bank, at an angle, until it rolled over.

Nobody hurt, we all crawled out of the upside down heap. Used a winch and a chain to put it back on all fours, used an awesome GM- Hi- Jacker jack to push the roof back into place, kicked out the remaining glass, replaced a little oil, and kept on running!
