Lightweight cars that are easy to flip

Blow out candles on birthdays. Set off fireworks on the Fourth of July. Eat a turkey on Thanksgiving. There are timeless traditions that happen year after year after year. Flipping cars or burning couches during celebrations/riots is something that happens too. Tradition? Not so much. There may have not been any riots following the New York Giants Super Bowl win, but let’s say a riot did happen to break out. Signs would have been ripped out of the concrete, police officers armed with shields and batons would try to quell the madness and cars would be flipped, possibly set on fire.

There’s nothing good about riots, the destruction and inevitable clean-up can cost millions of dollars. However, if a riot was to break out, it should be a new tradition to only flip certain types of cars. Flipping a bread truck would be pretty epic, but that would be selfish. The darn thing is so heavy it would probably take an intricate pulley system to get it back on its wheels. If you find yourself in a swarm of people trying to overturn a car, make sure it’s lightweight and a late model. Seeing your brand new Fusion or 3-Series flipped would probably ruin your day, if not week/month. This is why we’ve compiled a list of recommended lightweight, compact cars to flip.

Except for a few vehicles we’ve included to flip out of principle for being ugly or just automotive failures, all these cars are featherweights. And by featherweights, we mean under 2,600 pounds. That’s like Walrus-light. No, it’s like baby hippopotamus-light. Keep reading for the entire list.

Mazda2 (2,269 lbs)

Toyota Yaris (2,313 lbs)

Honda CR-Z (2,544 lbs)

Ford Fiesta (2,552 lbs)

- Cars That Should be Flipped -

Ford Flex (4,658 lbs)

Hummer H2 (6,614 lbs)

Ford F350 XL (10,700 lbs)

It should be noted while the Mojo Motors Blog has nothing against the Ford F350 XL pictured above, we just think it would be awesome to see a bunch of people try to flip one. Especially if it was raining and the bed was filled with toilet paper. Ever tried to pick wet toilet paper off the ground? Impossible.
