    She obviously can't handle the manual shifter - I have goosebumps when I see how the car is "jumping" twice.

    I still have one of those 1st gen, Skoda Ocatvias. Not the station wagon like this, but the regular five-door. I wish I have the money to rebuild it completely, because I am emotionally attached to it - beyond reason.

    Because in the USA the Skoda brand is completely unknown, maybe you will find some "fun fact" interesting: The car is based on the Golf Mk IV. This was the first model of the cheap brand of VW - well, it is not cheap anymore -, which is seriously cannibalized the market of the VW Golfs and Passats. However it looks much bigger then the Golf, the platform is the same, so we can't talk about legroom in the second row. That place is for kids only. But the trunk is huge - especially the station wagon's. But the 5-door saloon's trunk is called a "3 (dead)body trunk" with a reason. Mine is built with a somewhat rare, 4-speed automatic transmission.

    2. Thank you Sam. It's interesting to see that no one seems to upset about what just happened. More bewildered then worried. Jesse, thanks for reposting the whole thing.

  3. Front wheels still turned to the right allowing the front driver to attempt to climb the gate/wall. that is the thing that flips it over..
