Unhappy One Real Bad Week

Hello

I don't usually post too much, but thought I would share a really bad week for myself. Last Monday I was driving going for some dinner and a driver in a SUV did not pay attention clipped the front car, kind of did a pit maneuver and ended up destroying my evo. To make things worst, I just found out that her insurance did not have enough limits of liability to pay for the total on the car so now my insurance is going to have to cover the rest. Also, I was able to buy my MR a year ago for 31500.00. I have tried to find a new one but every single one I have been able to find, they want like 40K. I just could not part with 40K for a 2 yr old car so I just bought me a new G37S. If anybody knows of a dealer selling a new on for a reasonable price could you please let me know. Well here are some pics of the damage.

Yikes! SUVs can put a hurting on regular cars.

Sorry to read about this...but you will like the 37. I was tooling around with one on the highway recently. They are quick and look great.

That's a bunch of BS. Hire a lawyer and sue that moron personally to cover the rest of the damages.

Like the G but I really did love my Evo. With the AMS kit it just one really fast car. I guess I will just have to buy the new Greddy TT kit that was just realeased for the G HR motors or wait for the GTR. I am just not feeling the love for the new Evo X. I may change my mind when it hits the showrooms. Here are some pics of my G.

Sorry to hear about your EVO, but seems like you got yourself a nice car. It kind of has a Maserati look into it. The stock wheel seems ok in size but the tire looks a bit thin

You definately are not losing out too much with that new G37S; those are some very very nice cars, and I am sure you will enjoy the hell out of it. Good Luck

Thank you for all the kind words. I guess I am mainly upset that I spent time and money to finally get my Evo the way I liked it and just shortly after this happened. I only had the AMS kit for about 3 months. I am just glad that in the whole situation no one was hurt.

What are the G37's going for out the door these days (not MSRP)? If the rumours are true about the new Evo X pricing - it won't be an option for me.
