Flipped my car on a gravel road out here in buttcrack Saskatchewan.
Car is pretty banged up. It's not worth fixing.
Tire is gone. We found it later.
The axle snapped right off.
It was a nice view at least. I crawled out of the sun roof.
You can see that the rim and bolts are still together. I was sliding sideways and it ripped off.
I slid for long enough in the ditch that I didn't roll completely.
Blurry picture of where I stoped. (Blurry because I was shaking pretty gard)
Final picture of the car. The seatbelt atopped me from flying around in my car. The thing saved my life, please, wear your seatbelt.

So sorry OP, scary journey! Seatbelt really did save you from serious injury.

Saw the canola, immediately thought "hey that looks like here"

*Cuts out seatbelt and turns it into a sweater* There. Now I'm wearing it.

THAT BEAUTIFUL CAR
Steelejr98
It hurt so much to see the tow truck haul it away.

Well if it wasn't a Sunfire you could of drift better. No kidding aside glad your ok
Steelejr98
Thanks. I was drifting the other day though. (Not why I hit the ditch :p)
MoJordan1
And that was the last pontiac sunfire left that was actually driving on the road...amazing
thewiggins
sadly not even close
IgnatiusJReilly2601
It's also a good idea to not drive like an idiot.

A rape field.

Just went to look up what those plants are called in English. Came back to upvote this comment immediately after.
Babbacadabra
So judging by the gravel and the no traffic .....
Steelejr98
What are you implying?
Babbacadabra
Your car wanted to frolic in the fields or you were trying to do a Back to the Future

Crashed the car and got raped too! (Oil seed).
PixelatedVinyl
I get it, speed is fun, but be safe. Those rural roads are shittier than the city roads in Canada; that says a lot
Steelejr98
We just got a load of new gravel too.
PixelatedVinyl
Gravel is picked up too often by wheels with "too much torque" too loose to stay on the ground, unless everyone is driving an 80s traktor

Another sunfire bites the dust. My first car was a sunfire, but I put it into a wall, yeah seatbelts are awesome :)
FreddieAndersson
That's pretty gardcore
blameitonmyyouth
I saw what you did there...not funny but I saw it so you got that going for you which is nice.
Steelejr98
Is that a typo, or a pun? Cause it's funny if it's a pun.
FreddieAndersson
it was a pun, but actually, wouldn't it be more funnier if it had happened by accident?
AHAAAAAAAAAAAAELECTRICSPACEWIZARD
Deja vu!

I listen to that song way too much.
EvilMidnightBomberWhatBombsAtMidnight
@OP Looks like you landed yourself in a field of Rape. No, seriously, that looks like Rapeseed.
Steelejr98
It is. What a lively name for a crop.
EvilMidnightBomberWhatBombsAtMidnight
And funny you mention Canada and drive a Sunfire, seeing as there are TWO different Sunfires that appeared in Canada.
Greeneyeddevil
I'm glad you're okay. Also, the fucking prettiest car crash ever, right here.
Steelejr98
Thanks. It's definitely not the worst car crash I've ever seen.
Greeneyeddevil
I have to say though, if I rolled my car and got out and saw a beautiful field of flowers, those blue skies...I'd totally think I was dead.
splooshforArcher
Where in Sask?? Miss the smell of the canola fields.
Steelejr98
About 45 minutes from Saskatoon.
billposterslawyer
A 17 year old kid just flipped his car near swift current and had to be air lifted, but he's ok now. Glad to hear you are too.

Buttcrack is a weird name for a city.
CanduReactor
Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Indian Head, Eyebrow, Elbow, Climax. We've got strange names for towns out here.
Steelejr98
Yeah, we have a buttcrack fire department and everything m
NZSheeps
So that crash was in Buttcrack rape?

Beautiful spot for a car wreck!

It gets old after a while.

Your car get raped! (Canola....rape..... Field of canola.....nah)
thewiggins
tisdale, before the town motto was made lame
EvilMidnightBomberWhatBombsAtMidnight
Rapeseed, yes. :)
GhengisKaren
I understood that reference.
Whatswrongwiththispicture
Is that how you plow fields in Canada?
IncrediblydumbIdiot
Can confirm, we roll millions of cars yearly just to maintain bountiful harvests, this is a Pontiac, but Ford's work well too

Crap, Fords **

Flipped a 19ton truck once. Rolled, ended up upside down. Seatbelt saved my life, walked away from the whole thing with minor bruise. 1/2
upvotesforlulz
2/2 Avoided frontal collision with guy who either fell asleep or tuned his radio or whatever, who slid across into my lane. Wear seatbelts!
Steelejr98
Glad to see you're okay too. A lot of people take seatbelts for granted.
upvotesforlulz
And I hope you'll mentally be able to drive again after this. Some get fear/anxiety after accidents and refuse to drive. I hope you don't <3
Steelejr98
Thank you very much. I'm glad to see that there are such nice people on imgur.
upvotesforlulz
They do, some even say they were saved once because they didnt wear it. Those are the 1/10000 incidents. Mostly you are worse off without...

Yep. Hard to flip you're car unless you're driving like a complete jackass. So real lesson should be, don't drive like jackass.

That'll buff right out.

For next time
MedTactic
About $50 in parts to fix, that is just making it road worthy again.
NeverGetsTheNuke
What'll buff out? I don't see anything wrong.
Steelejr98
Lol I wish.
TheRealFireFrenzy
Because roadkill

My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

I stole it too. Don't tell the Dutchman. Shhhhh
EyeOwnaQH
How did you flip it? Swerve from hitting an ear or moose?
Fayeste
He explained it.lost a wheel and car swerved because of it
LooseyGooseyBrett
$5 says he was being an idiot whilst driving on a gravel road
bigbrothersbinary
In Saskatchewan you can see a moose from 5 miles. I'd be surprised if he had to swerve to avoid it.
SmittyWerbenJagerManJansen
Posting road trip pictures of moose and ear to Imgur
LordShenlong
damn those giant ears making people swerve :o
EyeOwnaQH
Lol...I meant bear. I guess I could've said moose ears.
qaaaaa
I read sliding sideways as hooning it out then the axle broke, flipping him
Squossifrage
It's a front-wheel-drive car, so it doesn't have a rear axle. And the wheel was torn off after he went into the ditch, not before.
qaaaaa
They never said it snapped off in the ditch. Also, it has a rear axle, just not a driven one. You can totally drift fwd though.
Squossifrage
I never said they didn't drift. And no, it doesn't have a rear axle, just hubs.
qaaaaa
...which are attached to an axle. Otherwise they wouldn't spin.
