I agree but I'd be pissed for a long time afterwards (insurance premiums)

 

damn he must of really jerked the wheel, i bet the cops gave u a real hard time if your buddies smelled like booze, im sure they accused u of being drunk

 

well said. that is no friend, unless they help u buy a new EVO...

 

the thing that would make mad is, if i was in your situation, you were doing them a favor

 

wow thats a scary wreck. happy to hear everyone walked away. as everyone else has been saying cars a relplaceable your life isnt. good luck with your insurance company and that whole situation.

 

Just like most of the people have said...glad to see you and your friends ok....i would have never thought a wreckage would be caused by someone pulling the wheel...theres always a first though...anyways..insurance is gonna be a ***** but i wish you the best of luck with that...let us know how it goes. I once had to drive a drunk friend home..i didnt let him sit in the front seat......only because i thought he would puke all over me

 

Sorry to hear about the car, but like everyone else has said, its great to hear that you and your passengers are still alive. Being rolled that many times is pretty stressful on the body, and on the car. Make sure you get checked out for any pulled/strained muscles. It'll take a few days before you really fell it.

GL with insurance, they are really going to love you.

 

DAMN that is crazy, glad everyone made it out ok! good luck on your next buy, hopefully another Evolution! haha

 

I don't think it was the pulling of the wheel that caused the damage, I think it was the flipping over several times that did it.

 

Once I was in the Passenger seat of my friend's Ford Ranger back in the days and he happened to be distracted by a woman walking along the street... Well of course this idiot in front of us slams on their brakes to make a left turn and he wasn't watching the road for that critical few seconds. Somehow I grabbed the wheel and steered the car around the stopped car just enough to clear them. In hind sight it wasn't a good idea but then again there wasn't even enough time to warn him of the stopped car and it happened very fast. We would have rear ended that car at over 40 MPH which wouldn't have been pretty at all.

As for a drunk person grabbing the steering wheel while going around a turn, scaring your drunk passengers may have been ill timed. Glad to hear everyone survived but in general you should never grab a persons steering wheel unless they are knocked unconcious or shot. This is especially true of our cars since the steering wheel is very sensitive to driver inputs.

 

Sucks for the car. Glad that you and your boys will be ok.

 

You might want to check them for sh*t stains first.

 

good lord that is messed up. I can't even imagine what the friend feels like right now.

 

its finally nice to see ppl who actually don't ***** about ppl's mistakes and accept that friends are more important than cars...

well i hope your insurance covers the car...and hope you find another fun car in the future...

good luck

 

Glad you're ok. I'd make the guy who grabbed the wheel cover the difference in those new fun insurance premiums... I don't see any pics of the wing. Did the wing make it? (I only say this because in most wrecks like this the only thing still intact is the wing.)
