My Evo is gone......wrecked.....deceased

Ok. I hate to do it but its another crashed Evo thread. I was with my cousin, taking him out for a first ride in the Evo. We stopped at a stoplight behind some old lady in a cadillac. I figured I would be cool and show my cousin how awesome the launch on the Evo is. To make a long story short, the light turns green and I give the lady in front of me about five seconds to get out of my way. I launch the car at about 6000rpm and we take off. I guess I misjudged the distance and the power a litlle bit and we plow into the lady in front of me at about 45 mph. Her Caddy is fu**ed and my Evo is pretty bad off as well. I haven't gotten pictures yet, but the engine is pushed back about 4 inches from where it should be.

Oh well, I was thinking about getting a IX anyway. Now that I've had some good driving experience with the VIII I think I'm ready for the IX. That is if mine is totalled.

Yea... my insurance broker called me recently saying they're going to re-evaluate the Evo's rating on their "risk" scale.....

Thumbs down

why the hell would u launch a car with a car in front of u period? whether u gave her 5 or 10 secs, it shouldnt be. the more the evos crashing, the lesser chance of me getting an evo because of the insurance rate.
