Road raged Chevy VS Evo VIII

Hey Guys,

Yesterday after work here at Vivid, my cousin picks me up in his 2003 mint white Evo. His evo is 95% stock and still under Mitsu warranty! We were on our way to my house when we noticed behind us was a white 2004-2005 Chevy 2 door pickup following really close. About a hundred yards away is a red light so my cousin starts to engine brake.

We were going 35MPH and we notice this guy come very close then backs off then out of the blue, floors it and rams us! As he hit us he kept his truck floored and all you could see is smoke from his tires as he kept the gas pinned. I looked back to see his face so I could later ID him, and he was grinning ear to ear like he was happy to be doing it!

After about 10 seconds he then backs up and then went around us speeding away. While he was smoking his tires plowing into us I was already dialing 911, and I read the plate to my cousin and the police as he sped away. We then waited for the police to come and take our story down and take pics.

The police said others called in and reported the same thing as well as his plates! Also that the guy lived very close and that they would try to arrest him. They said they will call if they get any thing. Later last night around 10:45 we get a call stating the police had him in custody and he will be going to jail to stand trial.

I just cant believe somebody would do this, he reminded me of the Joker from the new Batman, just crazy!

As for the evo... well not too good, at least another Evo wing has survived!











Sorry for the cell pics but at the time it was all I have.

Needless to say we are going to the chiropracter, and talking to a lawyer.
Im glad it wasnt my Evo, but still very upset about it.

For locals: This was heading south on Arizona Ave right before Warner. Here in Chandler. (about 2 min from Vivid)

Thanks for looking and support from friends!

He'll probably be asked why he's jail and his response will be I was rear-ending cars for enjoyment. His jail mates will label him BOB - Bend-Over-Backwards for your enjoyment. LOL
