35k on an 04. Sorry about your loss man. I guess the next part is the other stages of loss. Depression, acceptance and all that.
Get what you can out of it and start over if you want to stay in the Evo game.

Sorry to hear about your loss...That hurts, especially with such low mileage. I look forward to seeing 'before' and after photos. I also wish you luck on getting another Evo and being back in this community. I wish you luck in your 'recovery'...

Sounds like bull to me, it should not matter about your crash support, that didn't cause the wreck, I would seek some legal advice on that one. I'm not from canada but I don't think an insurance company could do that hear in the US. I know they would try but threatening to sue would change there minds. You paid for the insurance, unless your policy says its void because of that exact reason they have to cover you. Also take some pics, just because its smashed to tye radiator doesn't mean you cant fix it.

and i just wana put it out there people, dont take your crash bar off to save that extra 24 pounds, it isnt worth it but honestly idk how much of a difference it would have made anyway but im sure it would have helped..will post after pic later this afternoon, any assumptions on what its worth from the info i gave thus far anyone?

Sorry for your loss OP, I got a Rally Red 8 myself. The loss hurts, but once you get knocked down, hop back on and go bigger. I had an X before I got my 8, and I prefer the 8 hands down to the X. Willl only get an X when 8s and 9s become really hard to get.

^ thanks guys Its a very sad time going through this but im coming to accept the fact that its a goner, if i dont get enough cash selling it as a parts car il just end up keeping it, saving 10k for a clean roller and drop all my parts into it, then sell the chassis as scrap...i know the chances of coming across an rs shell is slim to none so in reality I may just save up, get an X and move on if i cant find a clean 8.
