I too live in Oregon and some of those roads can get a bit testy - even for my '03 LS430. I urge you to take it easy and slowwww down around those curves (IF that was the problem). I too would like to know the cause of the roll over. You HAD a beautiful Lex. Sorry. Glad you and your friend are OK! You will now live to drive another Lexus. God Bless.

It was on the country road so there wern't much traffic. I have been driving here forever so I came around those curve at a usual speed (around 40-45mph) where all of the sudden a deer is in the middle of the road and my first reaction is trying to avoid it (I shouldn't but it came in price), and all of the sudden the car was tail happy.....(i experience it a few time at the autocrosses and tracks with this car---
open diff.) This car has a lot of torque (especially on the low end) with no traction control and open diff! So I try my best to control the oversteer when suddenly the tail snap back the other way and off I went to the side of the road where it was muddy and has many bump and hole. I got out of the car within 15 sec (out of the window and try to help my friend. Luckily we are okay....(just a few glass cut on the arm) I then shut the engine off and I was glad that we weren't in some others cars (small compact). The Lexus is a safe car!!!! There were a few witness who live in the area.....they and even the shariff said there are a few similar cases around this area and next time just run over it.....!!!!
