What a waste.

Ouch!

Not the first.... I remember seeing one a while back when they first came out. Some guy's wife crashed the car, totalling it.

Damn....thats gotta suck....but what was the dumbass doing while it was wet???? thats gotta be one of the hardest cars to lose control over...isn't it???....on a happy note....the rims look like they could be salvaged

**Impreza** · 05-24-2003, 11:19 PM

Evo 7's and 8's have CRAZY fast steering ratios, like, Rally style. There's warnings that come with the car saying that BOTH hands must be kept on the wheel at all times (cept for a quick shift) They can be VERY easy to lose control of when there's a driver with no experience behind the wheel...

I think I agree with Xylathane. After all, the sharper a car is the more likely you are to lose control. Safe understeer and unresponsive steering are recepies for cars that are hard to lose control over.

i thought the evos had active yaw control, on top gear the guy was powersliding and he didn't even need to coutersteer

**VinE** · 05-25-2003, 05:21 AM

The guy from Top Gear can handle a car.. He can handle many cars.....

Just my 2 cents..

**Stratus_Power** · 05-25-2003, 11:56 AM

that guy in Top Gear i amazing.. and yeh he can really handle a car, the one where he was driving the Skyline was pretty amazing

Ah, reminds me of the glory days of when the first WRX's hit the streets. People with zero car control thinking they are Tommi Makinen going out and writing them off left right and center. The north american Evo VIII's are lacking any sort of electronic driving aids, not that that guy would have been helped by them anyways. All the technology in the world cannot prevent brain fade.

Ugh. Who would want to save that hideous Evo interior?

**Kamen** · 05-25-2003, 05:06 PM

Damn that's smashed up good...

Indeed, who cares about the interior, it's not that great.

**DSM Power** · 05-25-2003, 05:42 PM

The brakes look fine to me - scratch the front mount though.

What a shame.

**Zephyr** · 05-25-2003, 06:02 PM

WHY!?

man that sucks... get a new car then smashy smashy

**4DoorGTZ** · 05-25-2003, 11:47 PM

That would be a sweet find at say Impact Auto auctions.... wonder whats happening with it...

**SickBastard** · 05-26-2003, 03:20 PM

What a waste.
