Unhappy Farewell ralliarts...hello evox

Well guy's it was fun being a proud owner of a 09 RALLIART. But I recently totaled my car. So Now I'm just going to get a 2011 EVO X. I'm going to miss the easy search for the Ralliart parts and whatnot. I was checking out the evox sections and it didn't seem as organized as the ralliart section and wheelfitment wasn't as good how evil03 made it to be :] . :[ but I suppose I'll learn as I go...here are some pics of the old baby before it died! :[

Sucks, dude. Sorry about the car.

I'm sure you're going to love the switch to the '11 EVO. Don't let the chaos intimidate you; there are just FAR more options for the EVO than there are for the RA. Also, on a side note, I haven't seen a hit in my mpg. ;-)

The important thing is you are safe and healthy and you got a nice replacement!

Well, here's to looking at the positive side! Got your health and getting a new car! Though you'll miss your Ralliart!

How'd the accident happen?

Looks like a truck stopped short and he didn't...at least not until he hit the truck.

The car is making a hilarious expression in the first pic.

You've spoken a little early to say wheel fitment isn't great. There is a ton of room to work with on an X.

Well looks like I went under someone's car. I went to work on my day off and had came home and this nissan rogue slammed brake and i'm not sure why but i didn't slam my brake in time either...soo thats pretty summarize it up.....im going to miss the RA.


The INS PAID OFF THE LOAN. Also giving me roughly a bit over 7g. Will use that as a DP for a the EVO X.....

But i was thinking...is it really worth it? Why not just get another RA and rebuy all the parts? Since I'm so familiar with the parts and fitments. Guess I'm a bit intimitidated by the X.


.....And you guys are right...I'm glad I got my health and no one lost their lives or got injured.
