I agree with Jake, it's irresponsible owners with Evos who give the rest of us bad names. I've walked into dealerships only to have dealers say that I am not able to handle that type of car or control it. Why do cops take asecond look at us when we pass, why is it that every cop assumes we are street racers? It is because a few morons got their hands on the infamous evo.

probably totaled of it wont run or drive IMO. ive wrecked mine 3 times very severely. 80mph highway wall, 100 down to 60 mph neighborhood tree, 70 mph dirt hill. each accident was borderline total costs, and thats with no drivetrain or engine damage. the car would drive all three times while wrecked as well.

Are you kidding? Put some snow tires on the Evo and its damn near unstoppable. Go find a place (off the streets) to see what it can do. In Colorado we have a great facility in Steamboat Springs called the Bridgestone Winter Driving School where you can put your car thru its paces. I'm a part-time instructor there as well.

To the OP, sorry to hear about your car, but at least Evos are easy to replace...you, not so much. Hopefully your insurance company treats you well.

Totaled, sorry man. You should be able to get a decent amount from insurance though. They give you retail price, not trade in price. So you'll end up with more money this way, if you were looking to sell it but I doubt you were =/ I just got my check for totaling out my old car (deer ran onto highway when I was going 55 and both airbags went). Try to haggle for more money and they will also give you a percent above for your sales tax on new car. Should be able to maybe get an 05+ from private party and come out even if you didn't have a lot of mods.
