Steve,
My first roll was a Chevy Luv pickup, I was 15 and my parents left me home
for 3 weeks with the keys to everything. I was doing a burn out on a gravel
road with a down hill slope and the rear fishtailed, I froze with
inexperience and kept my foot on the gas. Into the ditch and over. I had
repaired (bondo) all the bodywork on the truck, needing paint, I had it
preped up to go in our booth, and my parents came home 4 days early.
Busted! Not only did I have to repair the body, but I threw a rod with my
foot on the gas for so ling and no road under me. The up side to this is we
planted a Pontiac 400 in it with a jag rear end, Muncie 4 and big ole M 50's
in the rear. It was a screamer. Glad I had such cool parents.

After rolling my car hotlapping the streets of willow, and seeing what was
left of the roof,
I wouldn't want to run a convertible without a roll bar.
Video of the last lap leading up to the crash here:

Unfortunately my parents were visiting the next day and I'd have to explain
to them what happened to my car.
Fortunately they never saw the wreck.
