must have been a really freak thing .. you have to really "work" to roll most cars ... but if conditions and reactions are just right can be pretty easy..


You want another EVO VIII ? Going to have problems geting one for a good price ?

Car dealer may look at it like giving an alcoholic a liver transplant

Im very glad your wife didnt get hurt. I can totally see where this can happen. If you dont have both hands on the wheel . or a good grip, and your car finds some ruts in the road, the car will pull very hard in that direction. Very dangerous if your not paying attention, ie smoking-talking on a cell phone. Both of which i dont do in this car. EVER.

Hope she recovers fast bish!

Thank you strong structural integrity of the Evo... sad to see the car like that but very happy to see your wife walking away from that one!

Glad your wife was okay, but man that pic kind of makes me nauseous. that is the closest we have to a vomiting smiley soit will have to do. This is extremely bad news. I am supposed to let my wife drive the Evo for a couple of weeks after we get it because I drove the O-Z for several months after we first bought it. So in order to get the Evo I had to make some concessions. Now I have a real heavy sick feeling in my stomach. However, I may be able to show her this and she might decide that it is not for her.

Question: was your wife a bad driver, aggresive driver, overly cautious driver? I ask in order to determine my risk level of allowing my wife to drive the Evo.

Once again glad nobody was hurt ('cept the Evo).

Very sad to see a brand new evo this way. Does the car still run ?
Seems like interior is in good shape also wing and rear. Good luck on whats to come.
