^ Not a fan of the new X bro. I'm addicted to modding cars and seriously thinking of getting used G35 coupe for a good price since I have a used vortech in the garage.

Mike, I'm very glad you're okay bro. The weather sucks and accidents happen but good thing your wife and kids weren't in the car too. It looks like your little boy is really sad in the pic. If you need anything man, lemme know.

I will for sure Thanks Mel, my little boy was more disappointed about the car he loves it and I told him before that I might keep the car for him, I might not be able to afford a car when he graduate from HS

I guess its easy to lose traction on the Evo even though it is AWD. My friends lost traction on the fwy a few years back because of the tires.

Glad to hear you are ok though

Glad you're ok man, considering the damage on that EVO.

When you hit lots of water hard enough, it doesn't matter if you had 10 wheels all driven. You're going to hydroplane.

The evo 10 is far beyond ugly. Have you seen it in person? Obviously not.
