I had an interesting conversation at the gas station this morning. This guy walks all the way across the parking lot to tell me about this one time in Germany when his friend was driving a 914 and pulled the hand brake at 100km/hr, turned, jumped two train tracks sideways, and kept going. He says that 914's can't flip.
Is this a true statement, short of rolling off of a cliff or something? |

Just ask drivers who think they know how to drive, even upside down. Yes, they can be flipped! If the situation happened as described, the driver is extremely, extremely lucky!
