@cecilia22 inside out could also means that the inside surface turned to be on the outside. thus, 'a car turn inside out' in this context means 'the car is inverted.

Sorry again. In this case, does it mean the car was heading to somewhere but inverted in a sudden? Or the car was heading to the wrong direction than it was supposed to go?

@ainulkautharks I wish I could do that way, but I only have this phrase without any context and being asked to translate into Japanese. I wondered if it's a common phrase in English when it comes to traffic stuff.
I guess that traffic accident situation fits this phrase...

"Inside out" means that the insides are on the outside, like putting your underwear outside your pants, instead of inside (best example I could think of).

@KhAnubis Yeah, I think that's the common way to use this phrase. I wonder how it's related to transportation 😟
