^? The amount of stories regarding wrecked and totaled evo's on this site doesnt at all make you think that the bulk of the owners who crash them were doing something that wasnt such a bright idea on public roads?
I'm no angel but I know what to and what not to do on public roads, just by the sheer number of reports on this forum regarding all the smashed up evo's makes me angry/upset that people can be so naive/ballsy to try the **** they do. Sorry if I came off like a jerk, just the people crashing these cars make me wonder.

Scorke is merely pointing out the obvious fact that it is highly more likely that this driver lost control of the vehicle during an act of stupidity and overconfidence in his driving than some other factor.
Unless this flipped evo was equipped with something like airjacks that deployed at speeds, there aren't too many scenarios that can account for it being spotted wheels up. I've had tires blow out, and that isn't nearly enough to get a car to flip, so keep looking for excuses fellas.

I don't know what happened, but I'm just simply pointing out the fact that Scorke is an idiot.
Edit: And I don't want to hear it about doing 80 in the wet either, at 80 mph yesterday on I-78 coming back from E-town I was getting passed by all sorts of cars, the typical flow of traffic even in the wet was 75-80mph.

He could've been driving like a granny....but do you really think that's how he ended up on his roof?

udging by the fact that he was driving an EVO it tends to sway mine and I would think everybodies belief that it was from stupid driving
I hope the driver is ok, flipping a car is never fun.

Negative commments about everyone? I have lots of positive things to say about folks like AMS, Buschur, MalibuJack, TedB, Curt Brown, JonK and all sorts of other members of the forum, you just happen to be tightly associated with a couple parties here on evom that I happen to have negative experinces with......

I met JonK in person before I knew anything about him or what he did or does, I know AMS through him and there involvment with him and the results they have achieved, all the others I know/like becuase of the relevant and correct information and testing that they post up on these boards and I appreciate the fact that they do things for our coumminty that they are not compensated for and I appreciate it, if thats *** kissing, bring some more *** on these boards, I could do with some 2.3 vs 2.4l comparisons....

Scorke: Anything could have happened including him drivin like an idiot I was simply pointing out that the roads were wet on the way to E-Town yesterday. Of course wet roads dont flip cars but they could certinly aid in it if a sudden jerk of the wheel or idiot driving was present as well

All that matters IS that the driver is okay. (and the wing, 
)
4tune8, you quoted him out of context. If you had quoted him properly, that statement is perfectly true.
Whether or not it was someone's "pride and joy," Scorke is correct...The first thing I thought when I read it was driver error, especially with TWO evos also on the shoulder. Yes, there is a possibility that another driver caused it, but the reality is, like Scorke said, more Evos are wrecked from driver error than outside forces.
