My car was almost crushed by a tree - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So I am sitting around the other day and hear a loud wooshing noice come from out front of my house. It sounded like a garage door being opened really fast, but much louder.

So I walk out front, and see a huge portion of my neighbors tree laying on her Ford Explorer. If the tree had fallen the other way, it would have hit my car. Her truck is not so bad, a few scratches and a few small dents on the roof, but that's all. My car is not "Built Ford Tough" so I doubt it would have held up so well.

Lucky me.

Wow dude thats nuts thank god the wind was going east this morning. Actually tho subarus have one of the ratings for the highest roof rigidity or something. Like they can hold 3 times their weight. I think you would have had alot of paint damage but i bet it would have not been as bad as you think.
