Had she been driving a big block this would have never happened. She would have been safely parked in her drvieway up on jackstands.

Amazing. Here is another true story: We live on Hardt Rd. Years ago there was very little traffic on the road. I remember riding my bike down the road and knocking down fully-completed spider webs. But I digress....

About 10 years ago, there was still very little traffic -- maybe 25 to 50 cars a day. A lady was driving down the road and a large oak tree on my property fell onto the hood of her car. The tree wasn't even totally dead, and could not be seen easily from the road. It totally smashed the front of her car. She sustained minor injuries. A tenth of a second difference and she would have been killed. A second one way or the other and no harm. I don't recall ever seeing another tree across the road.

I would have prayed thankfulness prayers for a week, but, of course she sued me -- and won!

Steve, I believe the only cars to have issues this weekend were small blocks and Chebbies, but again, I digress. Karl, i know you aren't kidding, but wow, she won ?!? Just goes to show you if it's your turn, it will happen.
