Ugly Fender Bender

So I was leaving a parking lot to go south on this main road here, and it was clear to go. then out of nowhere some car comes speeding from over this hill and is about to slam into my passenger rear. So I punch it but end up sideways facing the way i came from then over corrected and end up facing sideways the other way. Then i went over the curb and slammed into a fire hydrant knocking it over. I'm still a bit in shock and don't want to believe this is true. Any advice or ideas on what I should do besides work on my drifting technique? Oh and last night was my first time ever dragging the evo at MIR and i was worried about something bad happening there ... sigh















And just the night prior

13.329 @ 107 was my best that night on the stock turbo.

Evos wll get sideways pretty fast with just minor boltons. Good luck with the fix....go play in some parking lots getting sidways in the Evo and get the feel for it. Thats what I do with all my cars.

Sorry to hear that but how does one exactly launch on a super sticky race track?
I tried and I just keep on bogging down.
