Nobody here can read "I hope you got the other guys insurance" "Is there are frame damage"

Not only people can't use the search button but they don't read before posting something relevant...

Just be honest you were speeding. If you drive the speed limit you don't lose control you may hit somebody who pulls out directly in front of you, but you don't completely lose control and end up *** first into a tree. BS on this bud I've been driving too many years....especially to lose control in a EVO? You can practically make a u-turn at 60mph.

There's always that mysterious ghost car that no one else ever saw and made no contact with the vehicle. Whatever. We see it all the time in the insurance industry...and 9 times out of 10 after the investigation we find out it was a single car accident wherein the driver was soley at fault.
ding ding ding we have a winner!! I've been in 3 at fault accidents all over 14yrs ago all could have been prevented if I slowed down.

He at least im getting a JMD IX bumper
You can probably find most of the parts you need on these forums.... The wing and rims in particular. Also, isnt your insurance covering this???

Well in my case, I didn't spin out or lost control of the vehicle because I was almost getting to a red light with traffic in front of me and as soon as I come to a complete stop BAM!!! Let's say I'm incorrect with the comment I made 2 days ago but that doesn't give ppl the reason of blaming (directly or indirectly) every person who post here after an accident that his or her insurance is going up because of them. Were you guys there....no.
