So yeah... pics and story of how my Evo died!!! (THIS WILL BE A 1ST)

Pic's in reverse order of occurrence....











So First and Foremost I wanna say,,,, Hydrocodone is sooo good and when you have surgery it makes it not hurt at all. and then this little song and video go hand in hand with happiness.... LOL http://youtube.com/watch?v=T_1lr7TPvJs&feature=related

BUT now for the important part.......... I drove to my parents house around 9:30 sunday night to pick up something I had left out there. Well I left there around 9:55 and headed back to my house, well I had to Peeeeeeee bad, b/c I had been drinking lots of gatoraide, because I couldn't drink or eat after 11pm that night, because I was having surgery the next morning. Can you say run onnnnnnnnn sentence? Neways sooo I pull off in this little gravel parking lot and in between a opening in the trees, pull up the E brake, jump out and run to the woods to go pee. So I'm starting to go and I hear what sound's like a car driving near me but it is absolutely pitch black and I never saw any head lights so I glance quickly to see what the it was and I see my car rolling away. I'm like WTF and I go after it and then next thing I know we are both in the lake and its sucking up water til it dies!

Then the cops came.... YES all of them that were working that night in Harrison (area where I live).... then the wrecker came and this was the 3rd car they had pulled out of the lake that day. Crazy.... and I have no clue how messed up this msg is now either so w/e it'll be ok.... its the meds fault.


This happened a week ago now.... and i have already been payed by insurance.... Then gave me $22,222.75 for a 2003 Gsr with 90,000miles..... so that made me feel a lot better... Progressive FTW!

Are you really asking that question?

Full coverage INSURANCE!!

And I guess I didn't pull the e-brake enough for the slope of the hill.

I was extremely happy.... I have a friend that just bought an evo a few weeks back and I told him to give me $1000 and he could go take anything off the car he wanted as long as he replaced it with stock parts, so thats another $1000 I got. It still has a green, exedy twin disc hd, hks cams and vishnu cam gears... in it thou. the bad thing is no one will even know that its a green. He only had a few hours to get all the swaps done or else wh would of got at least the turbo too.
