The surviving rear wheel doesn't look like one of theirs... :shocked:

I have a serious question. I have a late model Ford Expedition. You are aware of the rollover potential of these vehicles. Herein lies my problem. I don't know if its the meds I'm on or what, but I have an exaggerated feeling the car is going to flip over when driving on the twisty Interstate 77 in West Virginia. I unconsciously back off on the gas to like 40 or 50. This is dangerous on the interstate. My wife has reminded me of it several times. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? :dontknow:nojoke

No, your wife likes the way i drive. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: (Just Kiddin, Keep your panties on, It was a Joke) <disclaimer

It's a Ford Escape... an SUV

It doesn't have the scallops in the wheel spokes, that are on the Escape wheels...

click the link to the article that explains it... I just threw in a random picture of an escape.

snopes investigated the photo and found it was a Ford Escape, which is no small vehicle (tho not big by SUV standards either).

from the article on snopes:

According to information from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office and various readers, the accident pictured above took place in May 2009 in Harvey, Louisiana, and involved a Ford Escape SUV, not (as is commonly reported) the smaller Smart Car. The impact did not occur dead center as apparently shown in the photograph: it was offset to the right, and thus the driver's side was not nearly as heavily damaged. The driver of the Ford survived the crash and has since been released from the hospital.

After looking at the picture, it sure appears to be a mini auto now.
