3 Jeeps in 3 Seconds

Yikes! I can't stop thinking, why?
 
Did he stand on the throttle, thinking he was braking but not stopping?
My grandmother did that once, and drove her car off a 2-foot drop-off retaining wall, out the back side of her carport.
She swore that the brakes failed, but they were fine.
Luckily there was a curb on the edge of the wall, so the car got hung up on it, or I think she would have kept going thru the back yard.
She stopped driving altogether after that.

My grandmother did the same except it was through the lobby of their favorite Mexican restaurant. Fortunately no one was hurt. Grandma was in her mid 70's at the time and continued driving into her early 90's with no other incidents. Papa made the front of the local paper sitting on a park bench waiting on her.

The owner loved them and comped every meal after that for them. He got to remodel his restaurant with the insurance money.

A Subaru would have made it just fine. šŸ˜‰šŸ¤£

Mass going downhill on ice and snow does not discriminate. Only thing that would have saved a Subaru was the driver ass clenching and driving much more cautiously. Weā€™ve had Subaruā€™s off the road up in the mountains. They are not magical. Their drivers just normally drive more sanely than 4WD truck dudes.

1) It was a joke. Kind of cross-pollinating all the other Subaru threads into a dig against Jeeps.
2) I meant the Subaru could have cleared the original hill.
3) If I use the wink and laugh emojis, it means I'm not really being serious.

You are right that downhill is often more dangerous than uphill. I've never had a Subbie off-road. Does X-mode help the descent?
