Roll Bar Excitement
I finally pushed the car hard enough to make the roll bar pop up. I didn't need that extra burst of excitement as I floated down on the backside of a rise on the road, waiting for the tires to touch down again...
It also took me a while to figure out how to get it down again.
It's nice knowing the car is looking out for me so well...

I have also done that once before. I almost wet my pants when it slamed up behind my head as i was drifting on a parkinglot..
I didnt have to take it to the dealer. If i remember correctly I just pushed the rollbar up button for a few seconds then i could lower it.

That's not correct. You have to hold the "rollbar up" button pressed until it clicks and the up/down mechanism is connected to the rollbar again and then you can get it down with the "rollbar down" button.
I had it once when I drifted over trolley-tracks on an empty intersection.
Here it is cought on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5LHGGFZZ_w
