Unbelieveably Bad Luck

[MrBeanley]

So I was minding my own business, going to pick the kids up from day care last Friday night, after all the snow stopped falling. I pulled into the parking lot, which had not yet been plowed, came around the corner, mashed the gas just a teeeeeeney little bit, and...

WHAM!!!!
From out of no where, an Ent (think "Lord of the Rings") jumped right into the side of my truck!

Stupid thing did like $3,500 in damage to the side of my Double Cab. :cry:

One of these days, I'm going to learn not to play in parking lots that have trees, er, uh, that is "Ents" around the edges of them!

You have to watch out for those trees. They tend to sneak up on you.

Man I hate it when trees jump out like that

I had a tree do that to me in a 1980 camaro with a 396 bored .060 over. Im just ildly flying.... or cruising down a road when the gas pedal got crazy b/c of the draft of a 98 mustang(grrrr)... the camaro decided it was time to get crazy and F that tree up... End of story. I walked away on a gurney with 2 fractured discs. Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

soory bout the DC, glad you are ok.

i wish we had snow so i could give that a try.
