Wednesday night I went to take my friend for a quick ride to show him my car. So I asked him what road was good around his house to do a run or two. So we go to a road its nice and wide so I luanch the car and i stop at the top of third gear. I begin to slow down because my friend tells me theres a turn in the road. Ok no problem, what he doesnt tell me is theres a dead end!There was no signs posted or anything! I sent my evo through a gaurd rail and about 50 feet into the forest. Didnt hit any trees and we both got out un-injured. No airbags went off but the car is totaled. The wheels hit a curb and the whole suspension is about three inches back! It sucks! The guy at the autobody said I can take what ever I want off of it. The insurance should pay for a replacement but it is extremally upsetting and depresssing. I worked since 14 to buy this car with my own money. It is a lesson learned but an expensive one at that. The officer that responded to the accident had fun ripping on me for two hours and told me he had to fill out an evaluation of the trails of kryptonite I left behind. It really sucks but no one was hurt thank god. The motor is fine and still turns on along with the whole back of the car is mint.

 

Glad to see you're alright. So tell me, how many years did it take since you were 14 to get the Evo? And what was your first job? Thanks.

 

I just turned 19 in august, I have been working at a bagel store since then until now. I saved about $20,000. And took the rest out on a loan...Now I work at the same bagel store and tutor children at a local boys and girls club through the america reads program...im a pychology major so I want to build up my resume so I can get a real job soon lol.

 

If he had been saving since the age of 14 the oldest he could be is 18 or 19 since the Evo has only been in the US since '03.

EDITED: since my math sucks.

 

Glad ur ok, but this is a little your fault also. I never drive like a crazy guy down a road i dont know no matter who tells me what. Just because you know about how long it will take you to stop doesnt mean ur buddy in the passenger seat with the grin on his face does and will warn you. FYI

 

i'm glad you ok, in the other hand the evo pay the consequences for you irresponsability but it couldnt been worst....

 

wow..that sucks..probably hurts you deep since you know you were the one who worked your *** off to get that car...not your parents. props to you for that...the car can be replaced..people can't. good luck!

 

yep you got it. At 14 I didnt know Evo's were comming to the states and wanted to buy a used 3rd gen rx-7. At 16 I bought my first car (A mazdaspeed protege) I modded that a little and decided to stop wasting my money on it. So I sold that and the mods on it and had a good chunk of change to buy the EVO. Wish I could turn back time now....

 

owwch. Well I wanna know. what kinda injuries your friend suffered, post accident. for reals !!!

 

Rofl.....

 

 

Glad to hear you're ok. My dad use to lecture me "No one can teach you a better lesson than you teaching yourself" everytime I'd get in trouble and how true it is. One thing you should of never done was never speed up in unfamilar territory. Hope everthing works out for you. Insurance is going to be a killer after this.

 

wow. That sucks. I don't mess around on roads I don't know...

 

wow, all your fault, suck it up, lesson learned, buy a new one

 

WOW man that really sucks. I remember when I was 16 I crashed my 91 SE-R the third day I had it. I was devistated. And you crashed and evo! Man that would really suck

thanks god for insurance!
