ure one of the few, my dumb a$$ little brother(love him) has a IX mr also. He takes more care of the car then himself, but he is a retard when it comes to driving. Im surprised he's not dead yet. Last night at a traffic light saw 2 girls in a honda civic, im in the front pass and he was driving. he had to show him that his evo will win against their civic. Well he does a wicked lauch and takes off like a bat outta hell. We get pulled over by a cop and he gets a exibititon ticket.

LMAO

I'm sorry, but i didn't understand anything you said. What the hell does ik mean? I thought it was "I know" but that doesn't work in some areas (such as the bolded part). 9 times out of 10 the "I crashed my evo" threads are made by the sub-20 crowd. You're only 17, you've been driving for a whopping two years now, wait till you're older before you start declaring yourself a good driver.

What the hell was the point of this comment?If he had hit someone else he would of surely hurt or killed someone else.

making a mature decision is making an intelligent one....
And everyone makes mistakes, intelligent people learn from those mistakes and take them as research

Wow. What an idiot. I cannot say more than that...

Yes I can.

He should have bought a beater for his first car. He OBVIOUSLY didn't have the maturity or intelligence to handle the situation, and that's because he's 18, dumb, and was never taught hard-luck.

Were this a different situation - I'd probably say something of the same sort.

I drove lots of cars under 200hp but evo is so different. With my first white evo 9 I made a big crash either. But I was lucky enought not to take any scratch... even crashed at 130mile to a tree from back trunk. I took 6 months of physicological treatment than I went to race courses - took my license - then I bought my 2nd evo that I am driving now and I just racing in track days now.. If you are not getting smart with an accident you will probably die in second with an evo I think.

well lets see...yes the evo is powerfull..but think about it...if the parents get them a rwd beater...that is more dangerous than an evo because it is more unsafe and there is likely to be more accidents in a car that is older and does not have to electronic safetly features and ACD and YOR like the evo has...i think the safe evo is a good car to learn on

? By that logic the kid is better off in a race car since they have all the gizmos and are by far the best in terms of performance. The problem with a car like the evo or the sti is that they are very easy to drive fast. If you do something stupid in a FWD, 100 hp car, it lets you know right away and you end up in the ditch going 5 km/h over the recommended. If you mess in an evo, it just lets go and all the sudden you find yourself heading towards the ditch 30 km/h faster than you should. Cars like this are the devil in you ear, they are constantly pushing you to go further until eventually you've gone so far, you're screwed.
