This is what happens when a 100 year old tree

decides to use my girlfriends car as a landing pad. For you Chicago guys, it should be on the Channel 5 news tonight. Happend right outside of our apt. today. Thankfully no one was hurt. It also put a hole in the roof of the house across the street.

Nice!!!

I had that happen to a company car years ago during a storm, but it was only a branch and it was repairable by welding in a new roof.

Glad it wasn't the Boxster!

wow, glad no one was hurt.

my friends dad was entering his stingray in a competition, and took it to a detailing shop, car came back looking better than it did from the factory.
in the morning they were getting ready to load up the car in the trailor and a tree just randomly collapsed on top of it, insurance company totaled it, pretty much every single panel was destroyed, along with the eingine bay and interior, it was ridiculous. trailor got owned pretty bad too
me and my friend were on the way to his house, we were getting some last minute supplies for the show...it was the mosta mazing thing to pull up to
my comp crashed, otherwise i would post a picture, it was devistating
