Unhappy Just Totalled My Evo!!!!!!!!!

Yup... Friday night my evo passed away. I was driving home from work Friday night and it had just started raining and I made a left handed turn and the car got sideways on me and slid right into a pole on the drivers side. Needless to say the pole won, big time. Sadly this is likely my own fault, I bought cheap tires that didn't hold the road for ****, I knew if I had just stuck with the stockers I wouldn't be posting this thread. I will say one great thing about this car, as much as I loved it (and will miss it ALOT) this is one of the best built car I have ever seen. This car saved my life and I walked away from the wreck without a scratch (but sore as hell).

The damage to the car is only on the drivers side, and I am thinking about parting it out. Everything on the car is perfect (except the drivers side), from the motor (15,000 miles, babied) to the exhaust (3" TB from buschur) to the passenger seat (no one ever rode in my car but me, not a daily driver) to the trunk, the spoiler, the brembo's etc... Please let me know if anyone would be interested in anything as I decide whether or not to buy the car back from the insurance company and part it out.

Here are the pic's

Sorry for your lose. I'm glad to see your okay. The sting of wrecking your baby always hurts, but atleast your okay and in the end that's what counts.


DIBBS on the 3" TB exhaust. Hit me up with a PM when you get a chance, no rush as I know you've got bigger things to deal with at the moment!

PM me an offer, I just have to get the final number from the insurance company tomrrow. As long as it covers the cost and my deductible it's yours.

Me either man, I really got chills when I saw it today for the first time, I just about cried. I babied that car as much as anyone could. I have all service record from Mitsu, I changed the oil every 2,000 miles, etc... What can you say though, a seriously well built car, it did exactly what it was supposed to do, save my life.

No sweat man, I would rather part it out or sell it whole. I know this sounds REAL corny but this was like a child to me and I would rather see it live on rather than getting scrapped. Like I said if I can just get enough offers to cover the costs I would rather do that.
