Well, if I wasn't really into football, there is no question I would quit right now. But I love it. So quitting is not an option.

I know, I never thought it would be at all possible to roll a car at that speed. Never even crossed my mind. I was coming down a hill from a friends house, heading to the gym to play basketball, I went around a left hand curve, just idling my way down the hill, I accelerated a little bit, nothing drastic or anything, but the road was just "armor-chipped" (the city crews lay down tar and then put these small rocks on it, to protect the road for the winter or some bs like that. I hated it before, I hate it worse now.) When they did it they layed way too much rock onto it so it was very loose still and built up in the curve. Well, with the shift kit installed 3 days before, it kicked down into 2nd, and put enough shock on the tires that they started slipping, and the posi rear end installed 4 days before just let the back end go around. Slid sideways and hit the curb with the right front, plus there was a incline about a foot higher because the dirt sloped up off the curb, then the back end hit and it went up on 2 wheels, then just gently layed over on its top. Freaky as hell. Can't imagine what it would be like to roll going 60 mph or higher. Scary crap.
