Notice the lack of a front lip on the bumper. Based on the super wide tires in the rear, it would appear to be a GT2. Also look at the low front brake ducts, which are different from the Turbo.

Every time something like this happens, it's just one less GT2, which I guess stabilizes the value of mine.

Who knows if PSM would have saved him. After all, it's not completely idiot-proof. Push a car hard enough to flip it and not even PSM can overcome the laws of physics.

Probably hit a curb, or some other "tripping mechanism."
