My Evo got PWNT tonight.

Maybe don't follow so close to trucks next time?

Yeah, that sucks. I think the brake line he was talking about is the metal part, so you don't need to worry about it bursting. I agree that you should at least get it up on jack stands so you can get a good look underneath it. Be sure to rotate the drive shaft so you can see if it is dented anywhere.

Thanks a lot for all your replies guys. I'll get it up on a lift before I drive up there, you guys are right, I should also get a second opinion too.

You guys are great friends and it's a good reminder of why I should move back to where my friends are.

About following closely to the truck, I really wasn't too close... but we were condensing as we were all taking a right in a right turn lane..... and it's really wet out right now. If I had slammed on the brakes I would probably be bitching about this stuff plus a fucked up rear end.

Here's some images I took earlier.

Damn that some carnage!!!

Make sure that brake line wasnt penetrated at all, or bent, otherwise I think you should be ok just replacing the downpipe and the cross bar. The gas tank might be ok if unless you think you want to replace it.

Wow, that DP is definately toast. I would do like Kracka said and take that bar off since it doesn't seem to be essential. It would suck to have it throw your alignment off and toast a set of tires on the way up.

a nicked brake line will burst sooner rather than later. Time to upgrade to SS lines.......

Sucks to hear dude!

[jhaan_dude]

damn that trans is sturdy!!!!

heres the part where you say "yeah you should have seen the damage i did to the concrete!!!"

evo ftw!!!

wow, downpipe carnage.

besides the downpipe and bar, everything else looks like it *might* be in pretty good shape, but i would definitly coat the bare metal to prevent some rusting, good luck with the drive up here soon.

Ugh... :(

If you need to get some stuff done once youre up here, hit me up. We can use the shop after hours since I have a key now.
