Close call for my Z over the weekend...
 

whoa! That WAS close! Damn termites....

You live life correctly.

A miss is as good as a mile in this case.

:eek: :wtf2: :eekdance:

That was freakin' close!

Time to play the lotto

:eek: did it touch the car at all?? That is CRAZY!! Time to go by yourself some lottery tickets! :driving:

Damn, good thing you didn't have a spoiler.

The tree knows.

but why didn't the Honda get crushed, stupid tree ..jk

There goes all your lotto luck. Should have played the lotto, had the car get smashed and bought a new one or a gt-r.

it won't be the same if you drive a prius or smart-car.

Whoa. Damn that's close.

:iagree:

I saw this pic on Ebaums...

:iagree:

I sent it into the Chive...wonder if they are affiliated. Or my neighbor (who owns the Honda) may have sent it in. Guess my car is now more famous than I am.

:tup:

im still waiting for a bowling sized hail to hit my dd. :excited:

wow that is nuts! lucky both car didnt get hit and no one got injured!

If your a$$ feels funny, it's the horseshoe. Like others say, go buy lots of lottery tickets.

Congrats on your surplus of karma :tiphat:

I wish one would fall on my z -__- lol

Holy ... God was looking out for your car. Lol

It happened last Saturday. I was in Charlottesville, VA for the night and came back on Sunday to the base of the tree bent over inches from the back of my Z. I assumed the city did a "controlled fall" of the tree and was a bit pissed. The base of the trunk being bent over seemed odd, but I thought that was more likely than me being so lucky. The next day my neighbor texted me a few pics explaining how lucky we were. Until I saw the pics, I had no idea it fell between the cars so close. I live in the building beyond the pic...no damage done. There are usually cars parked on the other side of the street...not sure if any were damaged.

Oh, and I am about to make a final payment on the Z next month...not sure if having it paid off would have been a good thing or made it worse had it been totaled. I'm guessing I wouldn't get enough from insurance to pay for a new one. It's an 09 and only has 35k miles on it.

I saw it on the Chive...

I can't find it...can you post or pm the link? Thanks much!

Wow. Have trees begun to evolve to avoid cars? I hope so. :D

Though, it is like it's ******* with you. "I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you."

I keep thinking about what I'd have done if I saw the tree falling...

Jump in the car and try to move it? I'd probably have tried to push it toward the car behind me. :o

:icon18: last time i picked up a tree, i could not pick up a frikken adult tree. :icon17:

that was inches from your car getting totalled probably. :D

Damn

Great photo shop:tup:
But next time i think u should put some leafs or dirt on the cars:rofl2:
Don't you think a tree that size crashing to the ground would drop a few things on the way down:roflpuke2:
Unless you parked the cars there after the tree fell for one epic picture:bowrofl:

There is no debris on the cars because it was windy (hence the tree fell) and rainy (it'd be hard to photoshop a wet ground). I have no idea how long my car was there in the wind and rain before my neighbor took the pic. I was out of town when it happened.

If that's the case then u my friend are one lucky camper:tiphat:

Thanks! I certainly wouldn't have gone through the trouble of parking the cars there...too much work for the small payoff of "fooling" a few people on this good forum.

I really am lucky. My insurance would've only given fair market value (for a 09 with around 35,000 miles and after a $250 deductible)...not nearly enough for a new z.

:iagree: whoa!!

Wow that's crazy.

If your car was a mustang? It would've been killed.:tup:
