thats another reason why I dont like driving or borrowing other peoples car. I would feel very guilty if I messed up their car. Its not just the money you have to pay but the repair time and chances that their car might not be the same anymore depending on the damage. sorry to hear what happened

I drive my buddies STI and he drives my evo sometimes, we were even thinking of swapping cars during AutoX this weekend. I wouldn't let anyone who doesn't own this type of car drive mine though. Besides him, my mom moved it out of my driveway to get my truck while I was sleeping, and she said she was scared ****less...
Man that really sucks... I do hope your "Friend" will be covering the damages. If not, you don't need him as a friend.
This seems to be a common occurance with the Evo... It seems that everyone has heard that the Evo is almost a supercar (Which I think it is) but then they seem to forget that all cars must obey the laws of physics. There is a point beyond which NO car can recover. If a formula one car can lose traction and crash, so can an Evo or any other car you can think of... What a shame.
Hope that the car is repairable and can be brought back to it's original condition. Good Luck to you man.
