Tree crushing my new TC!!!!!
Well not exactly crush, but smash into it nonethess. I even parked away from everything, but out of the blue this 100 ft tall eucalyptis tree fall onto my hood. #*&^@#%!!! 
So my car is at the body shop, about $2800 bucks of damage. I just have to laugh. This happend at work so my boss will pay for any deductables, but that doesn't make me feel better. Just had to vent. Enjoy the photos, Yeah it could have been worse, but c'mon!

A week ago we had a freak wind storm, so it was swaying a lot then. It think that the roots must have been weakened, also its an old tree. When it fell, there was no breeze, no warning, just crash. Hit a co workers car also, must just some scratches that she got buffed out.

This would be the time to go carbon crazy....I just don't have the cash right now. I work in a building that is on a horse ranch, so there are trees everywhere. Others have fallen before but not on anything until now.
