Default Rolling a Gull Wing

YOU WILL WANT ONE OF THESE!!!! (Put it on order now)


For those of you who like fast cars:


Now THIS is a car roll !!!!


For any of you who have ever rolled a car, this is the RIGHT way to do it.


The stretch of highway that this ad was filmed on is in the Fraser Canyon, British Columbia, Canada. The tunnel they did this in is the China Bar Tunnel on Hwy 1 just North of Spuzzum. Wish I'd been there to see this.


The car is a Mercedes Gull Wing.


You can't do this with a Toyota Prius or a Smart Car !

I actually saw one of the Gull Wings in person at a Mercedes dealership in Baton Rouge. The car was already sold and my friend works for Mercedes and called me to tell me to get up there fast. The car sounds awesome. I took a few pictures of the car. The sticker price was something like 236k. The killer was that this car had a 12k brake option. Talk about expensive brake jobs. I will try to post those pictures later. I think I took two or three of them.
