The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

@Natasha_Jay damn, one must be a special kind to be able to turn such a heavy vehicle on its back, truly amazing.
Show threadWesDymMay 21
@tshirtman I don't know a lot about this vehicle's structure or weight balance, but it might have a high centre of gravity that makes this easier; many SUVs and small trucks do. It's also able to generate enough speed to roll itself if you hit something tall enough. In a judo way, its own weight can help with that.
Show threadGabriel PettierMay 21
@wesdym yeah, many SUVs are balanced worse than normal cars, and maybe this one is, too, it's not like it has a reputation of being well designed.
Show threadWesDymMay 21
@tshirtman I think drivers are part of it, too. When I got a Wrangler years ago, lots of people warned me they could flip, and I was genuinely worried. But I eventually figured out while it does have a higher-than-usual centre of gravity, the problem was really more about the kinds of people who typically drove them.

No problem here then, those are famously driven by very careful and safe drivers.
