Wonderfully Awful Idea
|
OH SH--! TREE!!
On my way to work there is a sharp down hill. One that you can't see over the crest until you've gone over it. It was still dark and as soon as I crested there IT was a big ass TREE across the road!!!
 I hit the breaks and headed towards the end of it where a few other cars must have done the same thing. Not enough time to stop and #@!#$$#@!!! Not the bumper is damaged and lower grill. F---!  I guess 48 on a 50 road was not slow enough! I'll figure out what to do later to day. Replace or repair.

That sucks. There was a tree down on a hilly road near me last fall. Luckily the cops were already called and had started stopping and diverting traffic. Why can't trees just fall off the road???

This is why the Prius should be boycotted. Trees don't respect our cars so why should we be saving them?!

You knock that crap off...Camaro drivers are not supposed to be TREE HUGGERS! You have just single handedly conused the enviromental movement.
At least you are o.k....we can laugh about the damage because of that. That is all that matters.

Sorry man. That stinks. Hope it is all better & maybe even upgraded very soon. I fear the same as I drive a lot of back country roads.

Just got a better look. the lower rubber piece is pulled lose and the place where it attaches on the bumper is broken the lower quarter of the bumper has a 5" crack there are scratches all along the bumper, one spot the bumper is slightly deformed and the paint it screwed up, the lower grill is pushed in at the bottom. I'll get it over to my dealer of choice and get it up in the air to see if there is any other crap that has happened.
