Angry EVO Chronicles Pt 1 - Lady Drivers

Hello everyone !

Finally got my EVO IX 5 weeks ago ! Tarmac Black straight from the dealer - 35,500$ cash and insurance 1800$/yr Full & dealer fixing.

Car is still running stock at the mo and am investigating potential upgrades (so am open to suggestions ...shoot if u got any! - especially you waz996 )

Mind you I still got my honda civic type R which I use as I commute more than 200miles per day !

And so on a usual early morning, dropping me sis at school, the lovely (NOT) Madame C. decides to reverse her gritty pajero into my humble evo

You gotta love full insurance and the dealer, both said and agreed (I didn't even start arguing!!) that no repair will be done - all parts shall be changed (items expected within 3 weeks) - check out the pics

I am gutted about this and the car's only done 700miles till now but I tell you there isnt a car - any - that drives by without acknowledging the EVO - which makes me regret not buying an EVO vii some years ago when I had the chance

With the exception of Vicki Butler-Henderson, lady drivers should remain in the passenger seat.

Now flame me or crown me

Sucks about the trunk but sweet that you are just getting everything replaced.

Badass daily driver. Those Type R's look way better than the Si we had here.

damn sucks it got hit so soon, I agree with wishing I had bought an Evo years ago instead of buying a 2000 SI and a 2006 SI last year. It will be good as new soon and you will be loving it everyday.

The missuses in the forum are gonna have their say on that Bach!

NO worries, trunk will be replaced and will be new in no time..

As for the modding, we've got the perfect formula for you!
