Bye to my baby :(

Very disappointed, yet thankful that she protected me.

Thankful I walked away with just a broken thumb. So now the question is what to move onto. I need to get out and look but so far I'm looking at:

An FE (disappointed I can no longer get my leather recaros or sunroof)
370z Nismo
S4
M235ix
Genesis Coupe Ultimate
STI (not a huge fan of it style wise or interior wise)
Focus RS (although not likely either, as when I bought this X I looked at the ST and the overall craftsmanship was poor at best)

Any other ideas? I'm open I'd like to cap at 50k, but would prefer less (so yes no GT-R).

Dude I'm glad you're okay. I would be a mess if I lost my Evo

Stay away from the STi, this is from a former STi owner. I had a 07 (best looking IMO) the new ones are so ugly. Looks like a new Corrolla with a wing on it.

What about a 2014 CTS-V?

Hmm didn't think of that one will look into it. And agreed on the looks.

Edit: over my price range new but not a bad looking ride.

Can't you pull the seats from that one and put them in your new Evo?

Almost certain it will be totaled by my insurance and I don't have space to keep a wrecked car around to buy it back. Plus I'm pretty sure the emergency teams messed them all up putting the random pieces of car left over in my back seat.

Thanks. I'd rather not divulge it all over the Internet as we are likely going in to arbitration. But my main impact was to a guardrail and some into a WRX .

I did look at this as well. Idk being an import guy my whole life it would be a tough pill. And would certainly blow in the snow that we do see here sometimes.

Well, when the time comes I'm sure you'll let us know. Don't forget to just consider getting a nicely used 2014/2015 and staying in the evo family. The FEs are cool, but to me it isn't worth the extra price for a car that isn't "rare".

I'd try and get back into an evo, and then you know for sure you'll be safe if anything like this happens again
