won the car, drove the car, wrecked the car

A couple of days ago, Dream Car Giveaways gave away a red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-320 model with 70,000 miles on the odometer, a full service history, just "a few mild mods," a recent repaint, and the equivalent of around $1,400 on the hood for running costs.

Legendary all-wheel drive, just two liters under the hood, the next couple of oil changes paid for. What could go wrong, right?

90 miles later, the 27 year old lead foot who won the Evo lost control smashing the hell out of both the front and rear  ends at 140 mph
