You've obviously not watched any good documentary on the subject. Police

car
chases in Los Angeles almost always involve some spectacular roll over.
British spies are almost always involved in some form of car chase which
involves some roll over. Heck, in a recent documentary about british

spies,
the spy was in a fancy sports car (aston martin if I recall correctly) on
smooth ICE in iceland and the car flipped and slid for a while on its

roof,
until the spy pressed the "eject passenger seat" button which causes the

case
to bounce back into right side up condition, showing just how easy it is

for a
car to flip.

It is possible that there might be something special about gravity in the

Los
Angeles area that makes it much easier for cars to flip over. I haven't
personally witnessed any such accidents where I live (except in

documentaries
at the he movie theatre or TV).

No doubt you have purchased an option of some future "Ocean Front Property"
from AC to park your "Flying Donkeys".
