South Africa has an incredible underground car exhibition culture. Drag races, modified displays and loud engine roars get people going. But nothing tells you everything about it, like this TikTok video showing one of the cars flipped over amidst a large crowd. It's a 'call an ambulance, but not for me' type of situation.

It was all under control.

Flipped over? We'll flip you right back up

The video opens with a large crowd descending on a car flipped over in the middle of the road. Instead of jeers of panic, there were whistles and cheers of enjoyment. This most likely happens all the time. The crowd huddled around the car, lifting it off its back and onto its wheels as if nothing had happened.
