EVO X Crashed :(

[gtride]

I see a lot of nice cars at the insurance auctions but every time i see an EVO i almost cry.Â* Right now i can probably find 12 EVO 9, many more EVO 8s that been in accident and have been salvaged. But i didn't expect EVO X to be up there just yet. Over last 2 month i seen 5 EVO X that been FUBR really bad, its sad to see. I think dealerships should give special tests to people who buy performance cars, but they will never do that because they want to make money.

Here is the pic of a car i found today. It only got 625 miles.

[nebolic]

Shame, I wonder what the story is behind it.

[willitas34]

ouch :(

[lncrevoviii]

WOW. its jus sad.

[awdaddict]

looks like that car rolled on the passenger side and flopped over which the driver side rear get crushed.

I've seen car that went belly up and it wasn't even this bad...

[H8er]

only 600 miles :shock:

[MRbrian]

that hurts.

"Hey watch this - this car drives itself...........I got it, I got it.......oh, shi1.......bang, crash, bang..........I thought I had it...." LOL

Looks like someone was practicing their l337 drift skills up on the Touge and rolled that X all the way down the mountain. LOL.

When i got my EVO 9 Parts car it only had 2500 miles on it and every panel on the car was f*cked up even the wing, only 2 pieces of glass survived that was Pass Rear door and that was it.Â* Even the rear bumper got f* up.

where is this car located?

[MarkSAE]

damn, stuff like this is why our insurance rates are so high

where is this car located?



LYMAN, ME 04002

[fiaevo.com]

oh man that is far.

[Unowned]

mine's not crashed... lol just wanted to say that :lol:

I'm sorry, but Skills before Thrills 8)

amen

[SubtleWordplay]

such a shame

[evo637]

looks like the wing didn't survive :D Hope the drivers alright though

[JDMevoBOOST]

Wouldn't be a bad investment. Can prob salvage 3 rims the interior and possibly the motor.

[JERRY]

+1, but I do hope the driver is okay. Rodion, are you gonna buy this or what? I'm sure we can buff most of that out, nothing a bottle of Turtle Wax wont fix. Nebo, the wing is okay too.

hahaha oh yeah Jerry, if you haven't thrown my old exhaust away, someone might come pick it up. Figured if i was gonna throw it away, someone can maybe use it.

Hey Nebo,

Yeah, it's still sitting here. Feel free to send someone over, just let me know who is actually coming. Jesse was thinking about cutting it up just to have fun with... damn, no more fun for him

bwahaha actually you can still cause the kiddo that wants the exhaust can prob leave u his stock so you can cut some stuff up still muhah

[JERRY]

Sean and Jesse wont allow me to cut anything else up, the last time I did, I got metal in both eyes and had to have a doctor use a drill to get it and the rust out. That's why i looked like I got my ass kicked yesterday (both eyes are still swollen from the removal on Wednesday morning).

looks like that car rolled on the passenger side and flopped over which the driver side rear get crushed.

I've seen car that went belly up and it wasn't even this bad...

i think it was the opposite
the passenger side is very much intact, minus the front-passenger fender
first guess is rolled on the driver side and slowly/lightly landed on the roof, smacking some sorta land thingy on the passenger-roof to create such a concentrated & precise dent
but meh...

this gets me thinking... how good are the new Evo Xs chassis?
this looks like a light accident, but EvoM has shown that even light accidents with the CT9A causes some severe cabin-intrusion damage
but in this crashed Evo X, minus the roof, the cabin looks intact, granted there isn't severe frontal damage, no tree-like crease into the engine-bay/crash beam...
and the crushed roof-line looks barely into the passenger's headroom, if anything the passenger airbag would've pushed the passenger away from that crush-line

although what does worry me is the rear-passenger headroom, never noticed it from sitting in the car, but in this pic it looks like the passenger's heads wouldn't have much room if the roof were to collapse, even a little bit

although that might explain the roof damage, maybe in a rollover the frontal weight bias is meant to nose-dive the A-Pillar into the ground, lifting the passenger-roof (C-pillar) off the ground?

[DirectorSe7en]

Good observations. How do car companies balance the safety of the crash beam vs pedestrians? If it's tough enough to withstand a frontal crash, then is it too tough for a pedestrian?

I'd say saving the folks inside the car > pedestrains.

good question!
i honestly haven't though of it very much, but part of my guess is that the two are somewhat rooted into the same ideas
cars used to be designed like tanks/trucks/bricks, like an egg-shell
until they figured out that even if you made the shell outa titanium, if the shit slammed into something hard enough the insides would still get FUBARed, leaving the end objective... moot (aka, occupancy death... the inside of the egg)
so the concept of crumple zones to 'soften'/'absorb' and basically collapse in a slow, compressing, spring-like motion, without the rebound/recoil of a spring shooting back to retain its original shape
fifth gear had an awesome demonstration of this with the dinky-SMART car
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6t-yyoU8s
i know it might be tempting to look at the "sweet it's still intact!" aspect of it, but the fifth gear guys did a great job of reminding people that the force of the impact would've likely transferred to the occupants, killing them regardless of the rigidity of the car

but that's kinda babble... i think more directly your question can be explained by looking at some of the innovation made in the name of pedestrian safety.
flexible hoods, body designs to incorporate room for a pedestrian to fall, engine-bay designs that incorporate a lower-seated valve-cover, or nissan's "popping" hood which springs upward in a frontal-impact that acts as a cushion should a pedestrian fall onto it
i dun really think there're crash-beams persay... that're designed to protect pedestrians cause a pedestrian impact is fairly different from a vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-environment impact
a pedestrians legs strike the bumper, forcing the feet/legs out from under the person, followed by their upper-torso and head to strike the hood & glass of the vehicle

EDIT: my god, have i mentioned i love wikipedia?

I didn't know it was going to get so technical. So here is some more pic for you guys to look at:

Here is the one i just found. This must be the record for the lowest miles ONLY: 275 MILES. Like i said earlyer some people shouldnt own cars like this:

Here is another one for you guys. This one got 6k miles on it. Its an engine damage, looks like the guy jumped over a curb or something some airbags popped.

I dont think any manufactures test for this kind of accidents. (just a regular lancer):

hahaahahahaha i almost played on that. but coparts too expensive.

[Chrispy]

ya, holy shit
forgive me for sounding cold-hearted but i would like to see/hear more about this sort

heavy T-bone damage, either it rolled or the roof-caving damage is just a result of the A/B-pillar folding inward
and looks like the B-pillar had to be cut
i'd really like to hear more about this one and how the new airbags sufficed

from the pics of the red Evo X, it looks like the pillar arches are fairly decent, but everything in the middle caves in quite a bit
i'd like to see an Evo X in a frontal collision (only if there is one already... i hope nobody goes and gets into an accident) to see how the footwell/firewall fairs

EDIT: whatever hit that gray lancer must've been pretty low... if a truck/SUV hit it the majority of the damage would've been do the door, unless the door pulled the whole floor of the car... it must've been some landmass or a thick tree

Hopefully nobody will be traumatized by looking at this pic. But here is some more of that lancer:

Looks like this lancer hit a tree at very very fast speed.

[DirectorSe7en]

If whatever hit that Lancer, bent the metal, imagine what it would do to soft skin and brittle bone?

Whomever was in this Lancer most certainly died.

I honest to God, hope these people were wearing their seatbelts, at the very least.

Is that dried blood on the fender?

[mtsevovii]

the white evos seem to be good for a project... if i had the storage space id do it... but then again i dont know how much itll cost to ship the car alone...

likely just rust

my money is on some sorta pillar, either that or it was t-boned at a slight angle by one of those flat-faced semi's (original Optimus Prime-like)

[gtride]

Its most likely REDWOODS, i seen trees do that on rims and metal.

[DoggDicker]

only 600 miles :shock:

Lookin to be around 350-600 depending on what company, DAS is the main shipper of copart but they have a lot of independant companies waiting for jobs.
