And all hail Wolfbane!

Here's a rum-influenced diagram, too. :)

What a good tail! It's wonderful that you were not Killed. The fact that you were able to walk away under your own power, attests to the solid construction of the Honda product.

Thanks for sharing

If I was a Mod I would vote to ADD a Category for all the "I did this and walked away" posts. This is important to a lot of potential buyers and the posts are spread all over the place - with odd names. I have read at LEAST 10 posts from people who rolled and TOTALED their E and walked away with nothing more than bumps and scratches. This should be an Element AD! With a slideshow of all the totalled, rolled E's and the people who walked away. The least we could do is make it easy for Honda to find them ;-)

I hate that people have totalled their beautiful E's but I LOVE that all of them are OK and ready to go buy ANOTHER. Sure makes me feel good when I go out to fight the Dallas traffic. I love my E, but it's just a car - I can buy another....I happen to think I am irreplaceable though :rolleyes:

How about it Mods, T-Mac? Can we PLEASE have a separate permanent category for this (or at least a sticky)? I'll even volunteer to go search thru the threads and find all the ones here from before...really!

You were driving a bright orange box. How could the other guy not see you? What was going through your mind in the middle of the second roll?

Glad you are okay and can have such an upbeat attitude.

Absolutely not. The rum was for afterwards, when the soreness and reaction set in. There was chocolate, too...

You know, we asked ourselves that very same question. Large, five-mile orange color...it ain't rocket science. Apparently her insurance company saw it exactly the same way because we had checks in hand yesterday (two days after the incident). (modest Progressive plug)

I'm told the first roll was in mid-air, so on the second roll, we were really just ready for the ride to be over. :-o

first, glad you both came out OK.

as to color, i understand that vehicles painted in shades of red are only visible to law enforcement officials. <grin>

The minivan driver wasn't drunk, just possessed of seriously bad judgement. From what we saw, she tore off the front end of her van, but not much else. It must have been worse than it appeared, though, since her insurance company deemed it totaled, too.

Nice to see the roof structure hold up in a roll over. Certainly a major plus for the E... Could have ended up like this:
