My car is toast. Long story short: Was being tailgated on a rural road, decided to go WOT on a straight away to get them off my ***, came to the end of straight and found out snow tires + wet chip seal road = ****ty braking. Went straight off the road, cleared a ditch, hit and bounced over railroad tracks. It's heading to the body shop this morning. Anybody have any pointers for when I get there? I've never dealt with this kind of thing before and I don't want to get screwed over.

I'm fine. There is a lot more damage than I thought last night. The roof is wrinkled so it's got some major structural damage. Hopefully they'll total it.








The ditch I cleared. Nailed the tracks


Broken steering column


****ed wheel, probably took the majority of the impact




Debris field, notice the small dent in the tracks on the lower right. those things are solid


The turn


More roof wrinkles

damn..

 

pm me if you want to sell parts.. i need those tails.

 

glad you are ok.. make sure you learn from this man.. but in all honesty.. there will be shops saying they can repair it but you need to fight and tell them you dont want the car back.. the frame is definetly bent.. the oil came out of the motor as well so you might want to throw in that the car was makin some funky noises after the oil was emptied..

that wil help you get the car totalled.. live and learn man.. and dont be away from the evo seen too long.. hopefully by the time you get it all cleared up the X will be here and you will have more of a choice in what to buy.. hehe.. good luck with it all.. and aghain glad to see you are ok..

 

Next time just ignore the moron.They won't follow you forever.Just glad to hear you were ok.

 

soo if the tcase survived with no whine...umm I'll buy it.

 

Or tap your brakes... then the moron pays for a JDM Evo IX rear bumper... instead of YOU wrecking your car.

 

glad your alright!

 

Glad you okay and the issue wasn' snow tires and road it was "YOU WERE GOING TOO FAST"

 

ive done something really stupid before because of someone else and ended up getting a ticket instead so ive learned to ignore those idiots and just let them be. i hope you learn the same lesson. glad to hear you are alright though

 

christ. glad you are okay man, personal safety is always most important. vehicles come and go, money is only an object in the long run. You are lucky to have walked away!

 

not really any pointers other than upgrade parts if they don't total her and slow down... g/l man

 

I would say it is totalled, but I'm not a mechanic.

 

thank god u are ok man.. i am sorry for ur ride.. from looking at those pics i think they'll total it specially since u say the roof is kinda messed up.. let us know!

 

damn.... Glad your fine...
