BR 2.4 - Round 2
Its no secret what happened to the last one. Oops.. At least every single performance part, with the exception of the muffler, was saved.
So july 6th, I started looking for another 05 SSL to replace it. Not much luck, few here and there, most wanted WAY to much for it(22k+).. IM good. Then randomly one night about a week later I did a quick search at about 330am(when im normally up - for those of you who dont message/text me haha) of autotrader.. and a white SSL with 52xxx miles on it popped up, in fairfax, va, which was about 4.5 hours away. Well its 330am, and I doubt John(owner of the car) would like his phone ringing.. so i put off my giddiness til the following morning. Talked twice on the phone, carfax'd the car, got a loan, and 10 days later a 100% stock evo was sitting in my driveway. Which I later found was STILL under mitsu warranty.
In 30 days, I took a completely stock evo, and made it in to one hell of a fun street car.

Short version.
Dodged a deer -- summer tires blow *** on grass and dirt(side of the road), came back on the road tires grabbed hard, spun me around and I nailed a guard rail *** backwards.
Rear damage only. Folded the trunk floor like an empty pop can.
Zero damage anywhere else.
