Technically, I would get another new 03 or 04. Period. I wouldnt get an MR. They seem nice but even though there are some advantages, there are some disadvatges as well. I like my 03 and a couple mods and you basically have an MR just without the added weight reduction.

Accidents happen! Don't know what to tell ya except trading it for a more expensive car will not end your problems with careless drivers.

?????????

Same with me, very badluck, drove it for a year, nothin happens, let my business partner drive the EVo, he hits something and scratched the front panel, snapped the plastic pins that hold the painted bottom. A few weeks later, he backed into the hood with my Dodge Ram. How about this one, I parked my car in the grass off the road in a sub-division so I could detail a boat, 3 hours later I find out someone had side-swiped my left rear quarter-panel, scratching the rear light, bumper and denting the panel. Now you can saw this really is my beater car. I f$$ckin give up!

I would have said sell it, but they were not your fault so keep it and move on in life.

Minor cosmetic crap is just that...minor cosmetic crap. Incidents could be so much worse. Just try and let it roll of your back and enjoy your Evo!
btw did you replace the bumper(s) with stock peices?

Burn a black Candle in.....make that on top of the car (I don't want to be responsible for your car going up in flames) to ward off the evil spirits. Make sure to use a small enough candle that you can light it and let it burn all the way down and let it burn itself out. Do not blow it out. You should be ok then....

Hey dont feel bad. I had my Evo for 8 months not a scrach until my mom closes the garage on the rear bumper messed it up real good. Then I get it repaired. 3 days later at work this old dude parks next to me opens his door in to mine and goes OH ALMOST GOT YA THERE. Ya I was about to kill somebody . Then I come back after I get off of work and have scraces R us on my back bumper Yellow paint all over on a bumper I just got fixed. But I still love my Evo its the best car I have ever owed period.

I got a monkey on my shoulder...what will happen to me in the Evo next? I am seriously thinking about selling the Evo now. What would you do in my shoes?
the car may be bad luck to you

When I first got my Evo last year I was hit in a parking lot and then I had someone fall into my front right fender and crushed it in. Nothing major. I just got pissed and fixed it up. I love my car so much nothing could make me lose it included the bank

Keep it man. You will lose your *** trying to get rid of it, whichever way you try to do it. Just hold on to it, drive the Pathy for a while, and then mod the hell out of it since the resale is shot anyways.

You don't say what color your EVO is but, with the exception of black, all EVO colors are high visibility. If you are having problems with it getting hit, you would be driving a really messed up S2000 or 325 by now.
