Total loss. $16k in damages. Its strange not having the hatch anymore nor perusing the classifieds here on ephatch (btw I originally joined in Feb 06) for stuff to buy for it.

Oh well, be prepared for a massive part out b/c I stripped everything I could off the car before insurance took it for salvage.

Oh and heres what she looked like before...

Damn...That sucks. When you were loosing control of your car and as it tipped over, what were you thinking? "Oh my god, I could die!!" or "Oh my god, my car!!!"...lol

Any idea how much you're going to get from insurance? AP1 or DC5S would be nice.

man, sorry to see your EP like that man. like everyone is saying, good thing you are okay! the amount of money you spent in your car is nothing compared to the loss of a body part is.

Oh I'm not saying I disagree, I just thought it was amusing.


OP, sorry to hear about the car brotha. You know it could have been much worse. You live, you learn I guess.

to the OP. im sorry to hear about it. most the posts will be like this. lol

but i know how it feels to see your ep look like shit and go to salvage. i had to watch my first ep go away. i did the same thing though... took everything i had put on it that was still intact.

and now im in another ep!

That sucks man. At least you're ok. Cars can be replaced. I've had my share of mishaps. Everything happens for a reason and you'll probably end up in something better than before.

Hard to get back time invested but hopefully that insurance check 'll bring you close to the cash put in. Cringed a little extra to see a fellow Taffeta White bite it.. Sorry

I am creating a F/S thread currently. HFP wing and factory sides need to be cleaned up so they wont be on there yet.

And yea I took the turn too fast. It was a pretty wild end for the EP.

And I'm looking to replace it with a wrx but haven't been able to find one yet. Luckily I have a daily driver.

i know where a wrx is for sale here in montana not shure how much he wants or if you would want to drive up here to get it....but thats a bummer on your car

Damn sorry to hear that. Looks like a bad wreck atleast you came out alright. Good luck wit the next ride.

judging by the post an ap1 would not be a wise choice. maybe look for something awd or slower.
