I hope to look back some day and be glad I took a few minutes to write each entry to remember fun/angry/sad times about my Evo and things related to it. /sap 
1 year & 10 days : EVO down (4-car accident)
It's been 2 hours since the accident, and though my angry tears have stopped, I'm still raging furious with what happened.
Was doing approx 50 mph with semi-heavy traffic on I-85 south to head home from work as usual, when suddenly traffic comes to a sudden stop.
The white Toyota Sienna SUV brakes hard, a silver VW sedan stops inches behind him, I stop inches from the VW (not even screeching tires - it was easy for the Evo, just a little close for comfort), and a POS Prius slams right into me, pushing me forward (despite me still braking) to hit the VW, who hits the SUV.
Now why on Earth do I keep the tall spoiler on? Is the Evo X not scary and rare-looking enough from the back? WHY DOES A GOD-FORSAKEN ****-CAN PRIUS DARE FOLLOW ME SO CLOSELY?
Well, all 4 of our cars pulled over to the right side of the freeway off the road - and suddenly among all the rubber-neckers, i see the cars that have not been kind to my line-of-vision lately creep by to stare... 2 Evo VIII/IXs, brown '06 STi among the selected cars. The STi owner just made eye-contact with me the whole time he was passing as I was leaning against my Evo. One of the Evo guys just shook his head as he passed.
Police, 2 fire-engines, 2 paramedics and 2 tow-trucks (I called for 1 with AAA), my parents and the Prius' family showed.
The Prius is prolly a total loss - front all smashed in, front doors needed to be forced open, coolant leaking, hood bent way off. The dumb indian lady driver was a mother of a crying baby (who was brought by her husband in an SUV) - she was prolly the only one that would suffer any aches since her chest slammed against the sterring wheel, and the Prius didn't deploy any airbags. Go Go cheap-tin-can-hybrid **** cars.
The other 2 cars only suffered minor paint damage cos my Evo took the brunt of it. I'm actually thankful how the Evo Xs front is unlike other cars that their noses are flat for the most part - my hood and lights took no visible damage, only the front bumper got bent somewhat.
The Evo's rear wasn't as bad as could be judging from the Prius's damage - rear diffusers were destroyed, trunk had major dent, lights intact but the right taillight was no longer working, but the exhaust system was dangling dangerously... the left exhaust pipe was dragging on the road.
If there was 1 saving grace of this accident, it's the AAA guy that came to tow my car. He was very kind and understanding because he recognized the car was 'exotic, like those STi WRX types, expensive to fix but we'll tow it to this really good bodyshop that fixes up Ferrarris and Porches. Your Mitsubishi should be no problem to them!"
Sigh, I hate hate hate Priuses, now I have more reason to hate them. I just want Nox back in my garage... I should change my plate to "U Hit U Pay" or something.
