First totaled Evo in Finland

http://hkoski.pp.fi/evoromu.html

Happened on gravel road, obviously with quite a lot of speed. Driver is OK. I just keep wandering what kind of dumbass is trying to drive fast on gravel with those tires. Rumor says that insurance company is thinking exactly the same and might deny to pay for the damages. Which would be good for me, because my rate wouldn't go up. There was only 17 Evos in the whole country, so totaling one really effects on others insurance premiums.

you know after reviewing few of the frontal collision accident on evo's, I decided to keep my aluminum hood.

it seems like it's doing a fantastic job absorbing the hit.

notice how the a pillar is doing great.

by the way, how many Evo's do you have in Finland?

Hasn't the WRC ran in Finland before? If so, I'm sure one of those guys probably totalled one long before that one...

Your right, definitely not gravel tires but I would like to try those on the tarmac. Wonder how they compare to an R-compound here in the US.

The worst part is, it happened on those michelin pilot sport cups, on a dirt road. Im sorry, but they have even less tread than an advan does when its fresh.
