Hey man don't listen to the whole age thing because I have seen plenty of the "older" people on here who have bought there evo and wreaked them or they have pictures of themselves doing donuts in the snow right off the side of the road and stuff like that. I don't care what you say and I don't care how responsible you are, you have at one point, even in your "older" years, done some "stupid stuff" in you car or you have sped down an open road for the rush or the fun of it. You might be responsible in traffic (like I wish everyone would be). But it still comes down to why you bought the Evo. You didn't just buy it to go slow and look good doing it, did you? I seriously dought anyone here would walk into a showroom and look at the Evo and go "Wow, with all that horsepower and handling abilities I could really have fun in bumper to bumper traffic" The point of this car is to go fast and to be able to handle but it should be done in a responsible way. Just be carefull and if you do decide to open it up go to a track or just a wide open area where nobody can get hurt. Just be safe man.

 

Agreed

 

any pics of the wrecked car?

 

thanks for the lecture...now try going back and reading...i was commenting on the guy that said stereotypes are bad and then at the end had to throw in "HONDA SUCKS"...if you look closely you will see that it is a quote in my reply....i actually like most hondas and have a few friends with hondas (one that is faster than my evo but FWD owns him)...

but thanks for playing anyways...keep up the good work

 

so, back to the point. nice car, but i think i favor the grey

 

...

 

Eh, that doesn't look too bad. I've definitley seen much worse (see thread in sig). Just be careful, man.

 

Oh my god...why man? With only 90 miles on it. wtf. Things like this give kids a bad name. If your mom bought you this car to remember your dad by, don't drive irresponsibly. Im sure your family has told you this but come on. This was just dumb, I stuck up for you too.

 

you are a jealous/hating/stereotyping bunch arent you

advans, wet conditions, quick reaction, 45mph.

could have happened to anyone.

 

Dude!!!! I just was a witness the other day to a fatal collision right frickin in front of me. This bronco was 2 car lengths in front of me, and this lady in a camry going the opposite way decided she wanted to do a u-turn right in front of a bronco doing 65 mph!!! The collision was horrible, I still have nightmares. I barely avoided the accident, but by downshift and very light braking I was able to keep my car from hitting them, and debris. I went to check on the lady in the car with the EMS on the phone, checked her pulse, and she was dead. JUST LIKE THAT!!!! So please slow down and drive responsible. It was a tramatic thing to see. If you understood what a collision sounds like when a truck hits a car at 65mph, its frickin makes me sick everytime I think about it, and that poor lady. This only happened three days ago. So please watch yourself, go to driving school and learn how to drive NOT KNOW how to drive!! If not get a starter car!!

 

Man, I'm 18 years old. I'm not one to give into stereotypes but this doesn't help adding fuel to that fire. I feel sorry for the guy no doubt but i would be lying if i said, don't worry, it'll be ok and that i have no "wow...90 miles? figures" attitude.

 

S*&t like that just does not happen if you are going 45 mph and paying attention to road and weather. Unless there was a deer in the road or something, then I understand.

 

It isnt that bad. I think it will drive good as new. Is there any metal bent underneath the car? Also are the headlights ok?

It looks like theres only cosmetic damage but i still feel sorry for the car. Good news is, you'll have better paint than it came with

 

those pictures make me sick, if it wasnt the MR i wouldnt be but thats just the special edition, i wrecked my evo when i first got it too, 1000 miles on it, so far i been lucky and i know what the car can do now so just becareful and realize what you could do with the power like that, but hope everything gos good fixing it and hope you are in your dads good graces to let you keep it!

 

hey i can say that my 03 evo has done the same thing in the rain before. I live in a area right by some forest preserves and a deer was standing on the edge of the road like less then 10 feet from the car. spooked me pretty good because it was 1 am and the roads were wet. next thing i knew i was fighting the spin. same speed and conditions and it happens. i was able to keep the car under a decent amount of control but it happens to everyone and always when you least expect it.
