This incident may have been avoided if the dealership had one of these.

Fail. Who goes for a test drive with 3 passengers, anyway?

It’s very rare that the SUV is the victim in these stories. She probably flipped it in self-defense, using the Judo she learned last year.

There’s the problem. Her big leather purse is stuck in the trunk. That obviously threw the weight balance off kilter!//

Wow! That must have taken some unique driving skills to accomplish. Hope we learn more details.

When I test drove the demonstrator (had 2,000 mi), I took it up to 130. But it wasn’t in the parking lot. ... and yes, I had three passengers. Put it on my AmEx, and drove to Oregon the next morning.

I asked my wife how a woman could do so much damage
within a parking lot?.
She said, "Its a gift."

I guess the traction control and the collision avoidance system didn’t work.
