Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Yes, its just a car, but we all know how it feels when something we've worked on over the years and then something like this happens.

Wouldn't insurance cover something like this?

Yea I think it should.

Of course, thats why we have insurance... but about 4 months ago I changed my coverage. My old is only worth a few grand, so I changed my deductible. Basically I'm stuck with the bill however much it is.

That's just plain sad, that car was mint, too. Did the guy stop or keep going?

Ouch that really sucks. Glad no one was hurt. I would look into seeing if you could get the state to pick up the bill. If you hit a pot hole and damage your wheel you can get them to buy you a new one. I have seen it happen plenty of times. But a spare tire in the road is a little differnt. Hopefully you just need a oil pan and a pick up tube.

Yeah, leech off the state as much as possible. That's how you know government is working for you!

How close were you following the car in front of you? No time to swerve or brake means really fucking close.

He had no place to go to avoid, he wasn't close either, I was behind him and there was one car next to him in the right lane and a cement barrier to his left. Also the cone was flying in the air after the first car hit it

Although I'm sorry for the damage to your Evo, I don't wish it on anyone's car, but start your own build/wreck thread.

In case anyone was asking how close I was following the car in front of me... Anyone who has ever been in a car with me knows that I keep far back from anyone in front. The spare tire hit two other cars and was spit out by a truck that ran it over. There were cars on the side of me and behind me. There was no way to avoid it, other than swerving into the ditch and possibly rolling my car.

I am sorry and i apologize also wish you the best!
