Hard right?

Mine only goes on two wheels on hard left turns.. Odd.

Oh well. I'd rather flip on a hard right because you land on your passenger side.

There's a big difference between "flip" and "roll". The myth was "flipping" a Cherokee - this means end over end. Actually it was a Grand Cherokee which means they should've been using Grands, but you get the point. You guys are talking about "rolling" a Cherokee - side over side.

Last night's was much worse, automotively.

The killed maybe three mid '60's Chrysler Imperials. Those would have made awesome demo derby cars, in any case. (If they're not still outlawed.)
