That was an expensive lesson to learn, and it seems you still didn't learn the lesson.

True, snow tires + wet chip seal road = crappy braking.

However, in this case: dumb tailgater + dumber Evo driver = totaled Evo.

Seriously. I am very glad that the OP is ok but....

You guys are totalling your cars because you are driving faster than you/the car can handle.

I see all these excuses, it was wet, it was dark, first time on road, bad conditions, wrong tires..... Unless the accidents are caused by another car, the only excuse is that you are not worthy of your evo.

man i hope you have full coverage lol

Looks like ETS piping on the otherside of that track haha

But i dont think it has any Frame damage as far as your "ROOF" goes, you have that sunroof that is common on salvaged cars with those roof's they rarely get out of a wreck where the car was jolted like that without the sunroof frame trying to rip away from the roof. to it just kinks the **** out of it, but you've got some definate work on your hands, id total it, because when I got hit on that side my engine was Fuxored because the passangerside motor mount broke the block and leaked like a dirty *****.

Glad you are okay.

If they total it i will be interested in the engine and transmission if you are going to part it out. Let me know.

Also did the airbags go off? If they did it most likely will be totaled for sure IMO.
