No, his profile says he lives in NY, ie. not the city where the OP crashed.

We rolled 8 times down in a hill in my wife's old blazer, that didn't end well at all.
Ouch, dude that hurts just thinking about it.

OK based on the facts we can make some pretty good conclusions. I'll list them and the logic.
1. The roads are dry, I'm looking at them right now and they're dry.
2. The street sweepers have been out removing large amounts of gravel.
3. The Ralliart has AWD.
4. The Ralliart is classified as a sporty vehicle.
5. The Ralliart, being AWD and a sporty vehicle, is unlikely to be induced into a slide at slow speeds especially if the roads are dry.
6. If 5 is true, the speed at which the car was traveling cannot have been slow.
7. If the speed cannot have been slow, the speed must have been fast.
8. If the speed was fast, it was speeding given that most, if not all, speed limits are classified as slow (combine this with the point above).
9. The individual in question has admitted in the past to speeding
Or maybe he had his car set to "Tarmac" and when it hit the gravel it turned around to ask the driver why he had it set to tarmac, when it was clearly on gravel. At this point the car was traveling sideways, but the road was on a hill with a grade of 18.25%, as a result it began to side, all while traveling 35 mph in a 40 mph zone, once it hit the curb the car flipped onto it's side, which would have been okay, but the curb was set on the side of a steep incline and so the car continued to roll.

We all know that RA's tend to slide while traveling sideway on a grade of 18.25%!
: banghead:
Or the OP was just speeding.

Roads are cleared here in NY also. I would definately say 10 times more then calgery and don't take me literally either. I'm just saying we do alot of cleaning during and after it snows down here.

Haha very true. I love how when they plow for snowstorms they automatically get overtime. What do they do for the other 40 hours a week when its not snowing?

If the Ralliart is as great as people say it is, the amount of gravel present on the streets isn't the issue, speed is. You yourself now say this.

Holy crap you are annoying. We have all known he was probably speeding from the start, why the hell are you trying to still make this point? Gravel on streets will most certainly have a negative impact on someone speeding that a clear road might not have.

Seriously, go away troll.
