Connecticut Evos
Well, looks like I won't be going to anymore meets anytime soon and I won't be driving my Evo to the Uconn car show. I'll never be able to get it dynoed again. I'll never get to experience another Evo Fall Foliage Run in it. An 86 year old woman decided to turn left right in front of me causing a head on collision. I had no chance to react. It was like getting hit by a meteorite. God bless her and her family. I hope she's ok. Everyone walked away but both vehicles were totaled. Her insurance said they were up to $18K plus and that didn't take into account the suspension and drivetrain components. It could very well be north of $22K in damage. Keep in mind it's never seen snow and I can count on two hands how many times it's been rained on. It's been fun guys and I may buy an Evo 11 someday. Have fun and drive safe!!!!
I don't see why not. What do you guys think for judging? Just basic ballots and voting or what? Only issue I see is that this may be rather subjective. I for one prefer function over form so I'd be much more likely to vote for a car without tons of stereo equipment and monitors in every conceivable location. Maybe a category for show and then for overall performance?
ah man that sucks glad to hear your ok. if this happen to me i would be so pissed. but isnt it her fault? i dont see why u couldnt get another evo? is it bc her insurance wont cover it all? well wish u best luck man!

She was at fault. The car is totaled and her insurance is covering it. My car was mint and it would be extremely difficult to find another GG IX SE to replace it. I did a 500 mile search and only came up with two hits, and they were TB and AS. I figure I'll wait until next year to find something else. RS4, E90 M3, or 996 tt all sound like good choices at this point. I just don't want to pick up another car payment right now. I'll probably be at the Uconn car show anyway hanging with the Audi guys, so I'm sure I'll pass through the Evo section.

Its funny but I never see another Evo whenever I'm DRIVING my Evo...only when I'm in someone elses car or if I was in my other ride, my Integra .....
However, I sold my Integra today, so now my Evo is my only full time ride...maybe that shall increase my chances of seeing a fellow Evo owner on the road.....Cant Wait!!!
