All we wanted was some BBQ... - Page 2

**Kracka** · 05-01-2010

Thanks guys! The body shop (Trade Secret Auto in Plano, TX) is already tearing into the car to find all the damage. They mentioned wanting to try and get me new wheels too so we'll see. I told them to be sure and include a new clear bra and window tint in the estimate to make sure they get everything. The engine and transmission luckily weren't damaged at all as far as I can tell, it stayed running during the accident and I was able to drive it off the the shoulder without any weird noises coming from it. They will be fully inspecting everything though, including the suspension and alignment.

My prison shank got lost in the shuffle. I was going to try and get him right under the ribs too.

Shitty month for all the guys at least it is may now.
4 evo's in on month is to much.

Isn't it 5? I guess it depends on whether you're going by calendar months or not.

The Mitsubishi gods are smiting us.

Make sure that the car is perfectly straight when it's done, things like to bend in half when they're hit like that.

Definitely. The body shop already said they'll get it up on an alignment rack to make sure everything is straight. I just got the car aligned last weekend too so with that spec sheet it will be very easy to compare. I seriously woke up this morning just sick to my stomach not believing that this actually happened last night (maybe partly because I ate 15 boneless wings too).

What I mean is that just because the wheels are all pointing in the same direction, that doesn't mean the chassis is. If I were you I'd get under the car with a piece of string and make sure everything is straight, front to back. Was the rocker panel underneath the doors damaged? What about the B pillar being pushed in?

The side skirt looked 100% perfect this morning when we went back to inspect the car with the body man. We'll see about the B-pillar once the doors come off; the hinges were tweaked but that may be all. This isn't a State Farm "approved" body shop so I don't expect there to be any behind the scene shenanigans going on, but I will be sure to really look the car over after the repairs to ensure it's just as straight as before.

WTFBBQ!? As I was on my way home from Swifty's, Tom called me and told me what happened. I'm just glad you guys are okay. This thread makes me sad.

TkrPerformance · 05-01-2010

My engine blew on the way home from getting tuned. That is why I did not drive it on the cruise

**goodhart** · 05-01-2010

^^ Oh, I knew about that, I guess I was thinking more of cosmetic damage.

**Kracka** · 05-01-2010

Murlo threw a rod out the block.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 05-02-2010

Wow, that's super shitty! I'm glad everyone is ok.

The B pillar looks like it might be pushed in a little, as well as the lower part of the A pillar, but those are easy enough to fix. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they throw it on the frame rack to pull the pillars out, throw a couple new doors and a fender on it, and send you on your way.

**cmspaz** · 05-02-2010

Yeah, I was over at Scheides' earlier, and we decided that it's Trevor's turn next, seeing as the destruction has moved on from the black ones to the white ones...

It appears to be a shitty time to own an Evo.

Shut up Matt D., Don't u dare include DSMs in this mess.

Its not the EVo's fault, its the stupid burnout fuck that had earphones in his ears and wasn't looking at oncoming traffic.

God that evo was so nice.

**Halon** · 05-02-2010

Crazy! Glad no one was hurt.

polishmafia · 05-02-2010

JFC! Oh man, glad you guys are ok. This hasn't been a good few weeks for Style.

Andrew7dg · 05-02-2010

good times to pick up evo Xs i guess...
