My spare bedroom is full of aftermarket parts like a 20g-9-5, deluxe intercooler, and alot of other supporting mods. I was so close to beginning the intallation of everything, and now it's going to be a real long time.
I was such an *** today too. I've never really freaked out on a complete stranger before, but today I said some things I'm not to proud of. Alot of them.

SO the crash bar didn't really do a damn thing. So for those that think the crash bar is really going to help over 20 mph....I am pretty sure that it won't the lady was doing about 30mph when she hit my wife. So the crash bar was just an extra piece that was f***** up.
I am glad to hear that you are okay and not in pain. Your new car looks very nice. and congratualtions.

I've gotta say my initial impression is great, the improved throttle response compared to my 8 is very noticable. AlthoughI did jump on it once during my test drive and it feels so slow compared to my old car, that should all change very soon I hope. Here's a camera phone pic of it:
Well, the flatscreen is great and all, but I'm taking it over to my mom's house today. I think she'll appreciate it more than I will. Besides I've already upgraded to HDTV and she hasn't yet, she's actually still sporting bunny ears.

if you insurance for some reason totals it find out how much you can buy it back from them for and ill buy it from you :P im trying to find a good salvagable evo. Seems like my lucks not to good though the ones i find are useually completely smashed to ****.
Well here's a little update. The car had about 7.5k damage done to it, and they did notice it didn't have a crash bar installed. He said the damage would have been slightly less if I had the beam in there, but its not going to affect anything with my insurance company. They are also going to reinstall my factory bumper on the 05 mr and insurance will pay for a new evo9 bumper painted Graphite Grey for the new car.

Errrr never mind just realized its the stupid wench that hit you insurrance company. Still to me you are coming out the winner on this deal (well other than the whole new car sub plot).
sorry for your loss,,,,,, HAPPY for your gain!!!!!!
the comments about "there goes our insurance rates" need to stop!!! You were rear ended and it wasnt your fault, so why would that raise an EVOS insurance rate????? BTW, I am not an insurance agent, LOL
