Wrecked

Well I know there's gotta be a thread started somewhere for the wrecked Evo's but I cant seem to find it right now. I was doing some spirited driving and took a small corner Ive taken a dozen different times before and walla the car spun all the way around on me I went backwards through an open field clipped a pole and this is what I was left with, thankfully there was no injuries just a broke car. Goes to the shop on monday so Im crossing my fingers for a fast recovery

Glad you are OK. Hope your insurance is good. The repair bill might shock you.

Sucks that you crashed but saying that you were "spirited driving" is not what you were doing. Your signature says it all, "drive it like you stole it". You hit the turn like an idiot an now you want sympathy, next time pay attention to the road and this wont happen, I hope you learned your lesson.

Sympathy is not something being asked for. But I'll agree with the fact I was driving a little aggressive. I know there's a time and place to drive like that (like the track) however I kept it on empty backwoods roads. And what's the point in driving a performance car and not enjoying it $@$& is bound to happen occasionlly. Now as far as how it happened you got me..... I got my little baby slide out of it and that was all she wrote. When I went back there was alot of hay on the road but I think the fact I put some lowering springs on it played a huge factor as well. With the spirited driving you can't be scared to.......unfortunately I didn't do it responsibly this time and now I'll wait and lay the consequence. But even doing it at a track (which is where it should be done) you still face a chance in hurting your car.
