very bad night,another evo is gone

friday night,

me and my cousin were driving on the freeway,when my intake piping came off at 75 MPH. We pulled over tryin to fix it, we ended up going 20 mph to a near autozone! When we got there; we bought the clamp to fix the issue. I called my friend with another evo to let him know we broke down,so he can come oin us, UNFORTUNATELY! He never made it, he totalled his car couple blocks down. He just had the evo for one week, The car was in really bad shape so was he! I guess this expedition ran a red light and just smashed into him so bad that the car spun 4 times. He was able to stop the car before he hit a house. His face is in such bad shape I will post pics of the accident later. Man! I cant believe this weekend there so many accidents everwhere and its really hard when it hits close to home!

glad he is ok... sorry about the car.

on a side note.. this is over 4 cars in 2-3 days that have been totaled and several with fatalaties, is this a normal rate for a low production car??

No no. Even simpler. All moving vehicles should be banned from the stupid.

No. Just a sad coincidence, I guess. OTOH, there are more EVOs on the road now than ever so maybe it's reflective of the greater numbers out on the streets?
