Everybody remembers when either they or there buddy got there first crusing car. The car you guys took out every weekend when you were in high school and put 500 miles on it in one night. Well this is my buddys baby under a huge tree. He has had this car for about 14 years and other than a few minor things and body work it was very complete. It had new interior and the 350 had to have less than 3000 miles on it. This car is how I learned to do 99% of everything I know about cars and I cant count how many wrenching hours we have spent on it. you will be missed.

Its a 1962 2 door Impala with factory a/c and power steering.

 

that is sad

 

tree feel because of the storms or just an old tree?

 

damn that sucks.

 

the ground is rain soaked and we had high winds last night

 

bummer. Up here in Michigan it's been raining since Thursday and rivers are flooding, I have a nice lake in my backyard and remenents of Ike are going to be pounding us all day and into the night.

So far we have gotten somewhere between 3-7 inches of rain and it keeps coming..we are set to get another 1-2 more inches today alone and another inch tonight.

 

that is an awful thing to happen to such a classic. i feel for you Michigan folk.

 

yeah the huge rain that wisconsin got earlier this year cause a bunch of trees in the area to get route rot... 2 tree's in my yard are on there way out its sad because they are huge and provide a ton of passive solar energy for are house.


this has been the summer of rain

 

That sucks ass. I feel bad for you guys. Good luck on finding something else

 

His homeowners insurance should cover this. Although that isn't the same as getting the car back.

 

Yeah were hoping that he can get something for it. It will never replace it but maybe give him some money to find something else. Him and his dad worked on the car alot too and its really hitting him hard because his dad loved that car and he just passed away a little over a year ago.

 

was that from that mess that came through last night?

 

Yeah it happend around 2:30 a.m.

Its hard to tell in these pics but that tree is huge. It fills his entire back yard and his roomates 240 is under it also but from what we can tell it only needs a back hatch.

 

that sucks man

 

Ouch...

 

That's awful!

 

may it rest in pieces.

 

uhg, that just breaks my heart to see something like that

 

damn that sucks, was anything else smashed?

 

His roomates 240 was sitting on the other side of the yard and it knocked out the back glass and dented the rear 1/4. Other than that its fine. There doing road construction in front of his house and they had been parking in the back yard. If that would of happend there would of been a Impala, 2 240s and a IS300 all smashed.

 

well, good thing nobody was hurt either but sucks that it happened.

 

sucks.... looks like it was a nice old Chev

 

*UPDATE*

The tree is gone now. Damn that was a big ass tree.

 

Holy **** i would have cried my little heart out over some **** like that.
