Interesting Evo X crash pictures

Hey guys!! So I ussally search used or wrecked evos from
time to time and stumbled across this picture / car that was involved in a roll over. It’s pretty intense and just wanna pass this along to those Evo X owners because I haven’t seen this happen to Evo 8/9 cars.

That's not just rollover damage. In fact I would say that probably isn't a rollover at all. That is obvious side impact at high speed, you can see the point of impact plus the distribution of energy in the chassis from it, and some of that damage is jaws of life.

I've seen CT9A's like this as well and pretty much any make/model of automobile.

Here is a rollover into a pole with a CT9A. I know for a fact because I knew the person driving the car and I handed them a check the week after to purchase the wreck from her.

Let these be a reminder to obey your local speed limits, friends

Lets be honest, speed limits are for the lowest common denominator drivers. Most on this forum are easily above that. Drive within your skill set and safe for conditions.

I agree that car doesn't look like rollover. More like an offset frontal impact that ledto pancaking the side of the car into whatever they hit. They were probably hurt bad, if not killed.

I'm pretty sure it happened to more evo 8/9s than x's, heck heres an ix that looks as if godzilla tore it apart.

Here's my Evo X crash from earlier this year. Not as brutal as the ones above but enough to total her.
