VIDEO: Petter Solberg gets a Subaru boo boo
Click above to watch video after the jump
We all have our embarrassing moments. Most, however, aren't quite as public as Petter Solberg's mishap last week at the Bettega Memorial Rallysprint in Bologna, Italy. The 2003 WRC champion was taking some parade laps and waving to the crowd when he decided it was a good idea to get on the roof of his car. He managed the task with relative ease, but quickly found that getting back into the car posed much more of a problem. With Subaru pulling out of WRC in 2009, let's hope this isn't our last memory of Solberg piloting a rally car. Watch the embedded video after jump.

The image of Petter running after his driverless WRC car will live forever in my memory.

That is awesome. reminds me of a video i saw that featured a redneck riding the roof of his pick-up, right into a telephone pole.
