Good one, You tricked me on that one.
The first thing that came to mind was a car window but the clue regarding roll over and the ground threw me. At least I guessed part of the car!!! Good job - you got me.
ITS A ROLLER COASTER NOT CAR IT ISNT FAIR!
a rollor coaster goes up hill
it goes down hill
if it rolls over it stays on the ground!!!!

Car makes more sense then roller coaster. Good riddle! I didn't get it.
I thought it was a wheel. Same properties.
In my opinion, this was not a very good one. When all you have are the clues to go by, you cannot be expected to make assumptions as to how the "clues" are to be applied. Specifically, a car rolls forwards or backwards. Granted, if you turn the steering wheel, it will roll leftish or rightish. But the clues allude to something that can "be" rolled up, down, or all around. You can roll a window up. You can roll a ball all around, but to assume you meant "up or down a hill" for the car was a stretch. Plus, while the "stretching" is at a premium, I have a friend who "rolled" his car. He took it to a body shop, and it is good as new. I am not trying to be mean, but a good riddle is difficult, and when you see the answer, it makes you feel dumb because it is so obvious. That was not the case with this one. But it was a good effort. Keep posting
This was EZ, but that's not a bad thing
i think some people want to be 'challenged' so much,
that they overlook the obvious.
Remember that this is a family site with members of all ages.
If you have to be a genius to figure out each and every puzzle,
i would not have ANY fun here.
keep up the good work KT

it could have been more than just that
i thought it was a great teaser i got it almost right away. ( i do like my riddles a little more difficult than that however). and yo dapperDave you need to cool yo jets man there aint nothin wrong with this teaser i think you are just trash talking a well written teaser because you were upset after you saw the obvious answer and realised that you missed it beacuse it was obvious.
That was easy but I still didn't know the answer!
(good one!)
(good one!)
i was thinking of one of those rolling bug things
great teaser
great teaser
it was fun but i was sure it was an egg, of course it cant roll up or down, but if it falls on the ground, you WILL FROWN! good one. it was pretty hard, but i always enjoy a challenge.
Hahaha! I was thinking of wheels and rollercoasters for some reason.
that is soo cute!!! i love it!!!
There is more than one aswer to this teaser. For an example a Rolly Polly could have been the answer.

What's a Rolly Polly?
A little vague...
A rolly polly is when you lie down and roll down a hill! A lot of fun...

Maybe if you're lucky, the car will roll all the way over and still be somewhat driveable! (I've seen it happen)
Aren't rolly-pollies another name for pillbugs, too?
Great teaser.

Good teaser, tricked me also. I know that any one who's car rolled over did frown at least, even if it was fixable.
EZ 1
I don't get it the answer. I guessed dice.
I didn't get it, and after reading the comments I am even more perplexed. Roly poly, pillbugs ??? I never heard of either.
I thought of a yoyo.
i got a yoyo too! i think that works.......
ya a roly-pollies a pillbug around here too

For some reason I instantly had the Slinky song in my head.
Here's a link to roly poly bugs, only the closup picture is so huge they look like monsters.

They are a type of woodlice, and if disturbed they roll into a ball (and cruel children can then flick them).

I thought it was a bug, the part rolling just to throw me off. It walks all over, it rolls over when dead, have a pet one you frown. Makes sense to me.
OMG I can't believe how many people struggled with this one. It was sooooo easy.
i think this answer could have been anything that traveled on wheels: car, bus, tank, train...you name it.
initially i thought roller coaster, because at least the "roller" title would have been a clue.

Gee, cutebug, do you feel better now that you have trashed so many of us? I found it a little boring and I didn't get it. Didn't think it was obvious even when I saw the answer.
Forgot to say I agree with Dapper Dan.
This should be under "Trick" not riddle.

I didn't like that one at all. Didn't get it either. Maybe next time. LOL
Thought it was a skateboard. Technically anything that "rolls" can be rolled up and/or down hill. Almost anything with wheels can roller over and be rendered useless.
I have to agree with dapperdave, and besides a car can not roll up a hill. It has to be driven. It can roll down, but not up. Just my opinion!
I thought it was a YO YO
hmmmmm!
I kept thinking Window Shade, which can roll up or down, but I couldn't picture it rolling over! Nice teaser even though I didn't get it!
