Goodbye to my Civic(Crash inside)

Well I'll have to say goodbye to my dear 7thgen. Was a great car that got great mileage, and was always super reliable.
But on Friday I lost the car due to some really shitty driving conditions and split second decisions that ended with my car on its roof.

Please ensure you read the whole story if you intend to comment with criticism or your own interpretation of what happened. I've spent the last 2 days trying to correct people making all sorts of silly comments just because they didn't bother reading my detailed and well written account of what happened.

Also keep in mind speed limits are in Km/h

Here is the link to where I posted the story on my local car enthusiast website.

Crash in the west island

Holy cow! Good thing you're okay

That's quite the acrobatic stunt you pulled. Looks like the car fared pretty well actually.

And that kind of pothole should be clearly marked or flagged for immediate repair... that's ridiculous... If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could win some kind of lawsuit over that

That's crazy! Glad no one got hurt. Something needs to be done about that hole, that is ridiculous.

Lol, don't know if I would be thinking clearly enough to grab my sunglasses after that. I might even forget my cell phone (if I could find it)

Re: Goodbye to my Civic(Crash inside)

That's one of the problems when a pothole is filled with water, you have no idea how deep it is is.

Re: Goodbye to my Civic(Crash inside)

Damn! You landed like 50 yards away from the pond.
I've been up there in Canada once and it's fairly slow traffic up there and lots of road construction in the summer.
I saw this on Instagram last night. I didn't know it's was recent and a member from here.
Glad you are doing well. Good luck..
