My First Accident

I get depressed whenever I look at these pictures but wanted to share to my fellow evo owners.

Story: Avoided a bumper on the freeway that came off the car in front of me, lost control and went straight to an 18 wheeler.
If I only knew, I would've just hit the bumper.





you guys be careful out there.

Ouch man, I'm really sorry to see that. What matters is that u walked away from it tho. I too got into an accident a few weeks ago when a piece of plywood got swept up by another car on the highway and hit my car, cracking my front lip and my undertray and denting my intercooler. Def not one of my better days. Any word from the insurance company?

Car is a total loss. Insurance is paying me the value of the car.

Looks like my Evo 8 did a few years ago

Glad you're okay. Good luck with the insurance and new car and whatever.

And yeah those airbags look crazy. Cool safety feature though.
