    When I was a kid I was team blue all the way in the evo vs wrx debate. Than I learned about engines, and the differences between the ej and the 4g63. Now I'm firmly in the red camp. I live life one cylinder bank at a time. Parallel piston squad for life fuck what you heard.

    Yeah, but now the Evo's dead. Good job Mitsubishi, you've managed to make yourself even less relevant than you used to be.

    It's illegal for insurance companies to do this in a lot of states, but I'm having a hard time finding whether TN has any laws against it. I'm pretty confident that your rates won't change in a not at fault accident though, especially your first.
    A couple years ago someone rear ended my mom's car and it was reported to insurance. Her premiums didn't go up.

    I am almost certain its a thing over here, or at least that is my understanding from browsing forums. I am aware that you have to report any incident that results in injury or property damage to your insurer by law. Plus if you don't tell your insurer and the other driver does (which will probably alert your insurer), your insurer may use that against you if you ever do need to get a pay out for future accidents.

    I imagine it varies on a driver to driver basis though. If its your first accident in 20 years I doubt anything will change. If you are 17 you may end up with a big hit to your premiums. But that is just hearsay.

    Some gov reference material. Not so useful for the main topic: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/overview

    Always park next to the fancy cars, that way their shit will get stolen, not yours.

    Remember my transmission dipstick? My car is newer than some of the Skylines mentioned. Granted, it was probably also intended to be significantly more disposable.

    They only generally do it for 5-10 years after the car goes out of production, if they even do it at all.

    Does anyone know what might've been the fate of the US Special cars from Top Gear, i know that they've been given away, but what happened to the cars after they were given away?

    May's car probably ended up in a junkyard
    Hammond & Clarkson's cars are either donked, destroyed or in a scrapyard.

    That honestly sounds right and at the same time depressing.

    They were already beaters when they bought them. The truck has the best chance of survival, but the other two are probably dead.

    Despite them being beater's, it is possible that they are running somewhere in a trailer park or sitting in another used car dealer, but i guess your right, they're most likely cannibalized or dead.
