Default Tree = 1 ; My 350z = 0

So my 350z spent it's first night outside the garage last night in months because I got a got a 1991 MR-2 Turbo at about 6 pm last night and wanted to check it out in the comfort of my garage. Fast forward to about 11pm last night and "CRASH BOOM!"....... suck.

My windsheild is obliterated. I can't tell if there is body and paint damage because the branch took down power lines as well and is currently still resting on those lines and my car at the same time! Needless to say my house isn't high on the power companies list of things to fix so who know's how long till I get this **** off my Z and get it fixed

The Z gods are angry for putting my Z out in the cold in favor of an MR2. The good news is that if it was the (uninsured) MR2 sitting there the entire top of the car, glass t-tops and all, would have been destoyed.

Boooo.....

Steve

Actually, it was a big branch that became many smaller branches after making contact with my windshield. It's pretty brutal. I'll get better pics up when the power lines are fixed.

Driving the new MR-2 till then.

I had some big branches come down on my house , tore off some shingles! Glad I cut down that big tree in my parking lot a few months ago else I would have a couple of smashed cars I think.

Hope your car turns out ok

Lol, I thought this was going to be a story about a kid careening his car into a tree. Sorry to hear about this though, hopefully it gets resolved as painlessly as possible.
