lost control of the evo tonight on my way home in the snow, i have crappy tires no the car so i had no hope, slid for about 75 feet, and then went into a huge ditch, car didnt look bad when the tow truck pulled it out, but when i got home, it looks liek from what i can see at night, the fron bumper, the front lip, the right headlight, . I can not really see anything else so im not to sure but i landed on some rocks, hopefully my new AMS turboback is ok, this really sucks

UPDATED INFO

took the car for a ride today guys, feels mint which is a good thing, went to the body shop, probably gonna be doing a SE lip and AMS front mount, bad things happen for good reasons i guess, insurance is lookin at it on monday or tuesday at ultimate-cc. from the looks of it it should be just fine and this was just my wake up call to either put it away or buy some snow tires. the radiator support didnt bend so its just bolt on crap...either way im going through insurance and it should be fixed soon....just wanted to let u guys know that it still runs and drives fine so thats good news....more info and pics to come soon.

 

this is like the 3rd crashed evo due to snow thread i've read today. Sorry man.

 

totaled or no? good thing you are ok though

 

if u look at the car it just looks like a messed upbumper on the bottom near the lip, just look like stuff bent, like the intercooler and things like that, def. not a total, no where near it

 

yeah the roads are nasty out tonite it's all ice. I just got home from work myself and i probably slid for about 20-30 feet thank god the road i was on is pretty wide. on top of it i got a F!@#$%g snow plow was riding my ***. Atleast ur ok, i know it sucks but the car can be fixed.

 

gonna see if i can get an ams intercooler and an SE lip out of thi deal, i am going through insurnace, im bringing the car tomorrow to ULTIMATE-CC, there the best and im good friends with them, ill throw some pics on tomorrow and keep u guys informed

 

It wasn't due to snow. It was due to crappy tires.

Regardless, it sucks to hear about your loss. I see people slide off the road every day on my way to and from work. It really makes me wonder why the people who grew up here don't buy snow tires for their cars. Definitely replace your front mount with an aftermarket unit (unless you want to stay stock and buy a used OEM one off of here).

 

By "crappy tires" do you mean "stock Yokohamas"?

 

sorry to here that man

 

I had my old 240 role back in a ditch (headlights were pointing into the sky) and it landed on some rocks on the side of the incline and it was fine. Thankfully my GF's dad backed into my car right at the rear bumper (only part that got damaged) a few weeks later and had to pay to get it fixed, so it worked out! I pissed off her bastard Dad and he had to fix my car! What more can you ask for!

The undercarriage should be fine though. Just get the body panels replaced and get her back on the road!

 

+1 .. if so.. that's ridiculously stupid.. At least you will learn your lesson and will buy some Blizzaks or something similar next time!

I'm glad you are okay and it is not as bad as it could have been!!

 

Glad that you're ok. Don't be too sad because you could have been seriously hurt, although it already looks like you're looking at the bright side and ordering new parts.

 

If they WERE the Advans, I hope you have a very durable flame suit on...

 

Agreed hope your ok, I also too slid out on but i recoverd. I was scared Sh*tless.

 

ouch that sucks man sorry to hear
