  1. I would not call electric cars sustainable when most of the electricity is generated by fossil fuels. Not to mention all the carbon generated to make the batteries (mineral exploitation, production, etc.). In my opinion electric cars are still just selling the illusion of environmentally friendly, maybe in the future this will actually be true.

    Well for one thing driver seemed to be distracted momentarily by the passenger pointing out at where they were supposed to be. In the desert a moment of distraction is enough to cause this result. Plus I think the were riding the ridge, so most probably the car was heavier to the left when shown to go right he tried to fight gravity to go right and ended up with the flip. Jeeps are a bit unstable in these kind of situations and one should always be more cautious when doing such manoeuvres in the Jeep. BTW the JL looks pretty good with an easy exit after the flip.

    He was definitely fighting gravity. You can see it at the 20 seconds mark. I am familiar with that sand on the sides, that means turn the steering wheel and go down the dune.

    It seems that when the passenger distracted the driver they ran out of dune to fight gravity with on the left side and the car just flipped on the right side where there was still sand so two big mistakes right there. 

    I agree Jeeps are a bit unstable specially two doors I've driven the 4 doors of some friends and tend to be more stable than 2 doors. But 2 doors are more fun because of it. You have to be quick to correct the steering or else this happens.

  3. My point is that I can't force those people on the road to wear a seatbelt that's their bad decisions and we all have to live with the decisions we make. What I hate the most is that they don't teach their kids to wear their seatbelt like out parents did.

  4. If they don't wear a seatbelt that's their business, but when they get in an accident and their skull goes through the windshield that's one less inept I have to deal with on the road. I only have a problem when the inept are raising kids to their image and no common sense. 

    It reminds me of this clip.

    I think Ripsaw is a tank buddy and not a car.

    It's technically a car. 🤔 Tanks are defined as armored combat ground vehicles. If I have a million dollars it doesn't really matter 🤣

  6. What happened to me was that I was looking for an offroad club, although there was a lot of them out there, they were all in different places and were not structured at all, some lived in whatsapp groups or facebook groups that did not look professional or organized at all (even if they might be, but they just did not look like organized from the outside).

    I liked Carnity because:

    1. Was clear and structured
    2. They actually like teaching others; and
    3. They all have a great attitude even if they get frustrated with some of us (specially with me LOL).

    I came to Carnity for the off-road club but actually stayed for the community of highly enthusiastic, knowledgeable (and opinionated) members and that there is a place where we can all agree (or agree to disagree).
